Welcome to the
Palm Springs Desert Resorts

It's a beautiful 89 degrees (32C) today. The sun is shining, the San Jacinto Mountains are still covered with snow, and the Desert is as green as one of our many manicured golf courses. The Southern California Desert received large amounts of rain earlier in the year, which has turned our Desert into a rainbow of wildflowers. With all our sunshine, visitors can enjoy many of the outdoor activities, festivals, and farmer's markets.

Spring and summer are great times of year to explore the eight cities that make up the Palm Springs Desert Resorts. Our resorts and hotels are offering value-added packages and rates to entice leisure visitors to book a Palm Springs area vacation. Please contact us to assist in planning your client's vacation to our incredible destination.

We look forward to seeing you at industry trade shows or in your city!

Have a wonderful day,
