Red Rock Retreats Founder Named Tourism Industry Leader

The announcement is the latest sign of momentum for Sedona's business community, which has drawn growing attention from investors across the Southwest.

"It's a big step forward for Sedona, and it wouldn't have happened without a lot of people pulling in the same direction," said Megan Walker, managing partner.

The company now employs roughly 47 people across its Arizona operations, with plans to keep hiring if growth holds through next year. Leadership says Sedona's talent pipeline was a deciding factor in choosing to expand locally rather than out of state.

"It took teamwork, but we got there." — Megan Walker

Company leadership says an update on hiring and expansion plans is expected before the end of the year.
