about us

As Arizona's only monthly statewide digest size travel publication, Arizona Key Magazine serves a number of audiences. The first group we serve consists of Visitors and Local Residents who use the Magazine and website as a travel resource. The second group we serve consists of the Concierge and other Travel and Planning Professionals who advise visitors and local residents with tourism recommendations every day. Lastly, we serve our Valued Advertisers by providing comprehensive marketing programs which help them achieve their marketing and growth objectives.

At Arizona Key Magazine, we serve these diverse groups in many ways. We produce our monthly Arizona Travel Guide, and our Annual Special Edition Cactus League Spring Training issue. These publications are distributed statewide. Arizona has many wonderful things to see and do, and we want to expose this to Visitors and Locals alike. So whether you visit or live in Phoenix, you can learn about things to do in Tucson; down in Tucson you can learn about the Grand Canyon; while in Sedona you can learn about Scottsdale; when in Tempe you can learn about Flagstaff – you get the idea!

We also serve these groups with our website at ArizonaKey.com. Our Keep Me Posted email program allows visitors and locals to sign up for email announcements about Arizona tourism. Our Secure Concierge Network allows Travel Professionals access to additional content and tools to help them better advise visitors and local residents. Arizona Key Magazine also produces a monthly Arizona Travel & Events Podcast that Visitors, Locals, Concierge and Advertisers can download to their computers, iPods and other mobile devices.

We also host an annual “Kick Off The Season” Trade Show. This annual show allows our Advertisers to showcase their products and services to Concierge and Travel professionals across the state, highlighting new offering becoming available in the coming year. Additionally, we host numerous FAM Trips throughout the year, which bring Concierge and other Travel Professionals directly to our Advertisers so they can experience first hand the products and services they recommend to visitors and local residents.

As you can see, we are much more than a magazine. Through our publications, website, Concierge web portal, email marketing, podcasts, trade shows and FAM trips, we are committed to providing valuable tourism information to visitors before they arrive and once they are here. We also form a bridge between our Valued Advertisers and the Concierge and Travel Professionals who make recommendations to Visitors and Residents every day.

Whether you are a Tourist, Local Resident, Concierge, Travel Professional or Advertiser, we thank you for using Arizona Key Magazine and ArizonaKey.com. We will continue to do our best in providing relevant tourism information for the state of Arizona.
