Ranked the state with the best economic outlook for 17 consecutive years by Rich States, Poor States, the official host for the 2034 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, and the site of a newly constructed standout international airport, Utah is a global hub of interconnectivity. As one of the fastest-growing states in the nation, we’re thrilled to provide an environment of connection that elevates both people and businesses alike.

Early arrival or late departure? Enjoy a bit more of what Utah has to offer!

Utah is home to five national parks featuring some of the most iconic landscapes in the West. A few hours south of Salt Lake, these parks offer breathtaking views and world-class outdoor recreation. (You can even pack them all in within a few days!)

Closer to Salt Lake City — but a world away — lies the phenomenon that is the Bonneville Salt Flats. And just 25 minutes from downtown is Little Cottonwood Canyon, the perfect spot for hiking and outdoor activities. Visit Albion Basin to see the famous meadow of wildflowers, which will be in peak bloom during the Crossroads of the World International Trade Summit. There are plenty of other trails to explore in the canyons near Salt Lake.

Historic Park City is just a 45-minute drive away! Home of the Sundance Film Festival, Park City offers beautiful mountain views, outdoor activities, galleries, theaters, and an iconic main street.

For those who identify as “indoorsy,” explore City Creek and The Gateway for fantastic stores and food options. Utah provides a wide variety of cuisine, so whatever genre best suits your taste buds, give one of these recommendations a try!

Other attractions and activities include the Clark Planetarium, Utah’s Hogle Zoo, Loveland Aquarium, Utah Symphony, Utah Opera, the Eccles Theater, and Lagoon — the largest family-owned amusement park in the United States.
