While TEP supports all business customers, our Business Development team members are assigned to specialize in focus areas with major impacts on economic development in Southern Arizona. Travel, tourism and the airport are all major drivers in the winter and spring.

Focus: Larrinaga works with local hotels, tourism venues and serves as a liaison with the Arizona Lodging and Tourism Association.

Why is it important to support local business? “I like to put myself in the customer’s shoes, and in doing so, I feel that I would much rather have a single person serve as a go-to stop for my questions. This attitude inspires me to be better every day so that I can provide the same professional attention to detail to all of our customers,” Larrinaga said.
