Challenge Example: Pima County Attractions and Tourism
Old Tucson – the renowned film set and family theme park in Tucson – has had broad success over many years but is largely dependent on an older and aging customer base. Going forward, how might this attraction be reimagined and repositioned to appeal to a younger and broader audience?
