City seeks Tourism Manager in exciting, new chapter for Sedona’s tourism industry

Sedona News – The city of Sedona currently seeks a Tourism Manager to manage the city’s first-ever in-house Tourism Program.

This person will be the spokesperson and expert on city tourism efforts, and will develop, implement and manage a program that balances Sedona’s thriving tourism economy with resident quality of life.

Future tourism efforts will include not only destination marketing but a focus on responsible tourism management and environmental stewardship.

“Creating the city’s new Tourism Program has been an exciting and rewarding undertaking for our existing team, and we look forward to welcoming a new Tourism Manager to help us further elevate these efforts,” said City Manager Karen Osburn.
