Looking to Visit Arizona?

If you're looking to visit Arizona this fall or winter, you won't be alone. If statistics hold, tourism will up again this year. In 2006 the Grand Canyon State estimated that about 3.3% more out of visitors showed up than in previous years. Not surprisingly, "Baby Boomers" made up the largest share of those who came--36% of non-resident visitors. But following on their heels, "Gen-Xers" made up 30% who came from out of state for leisure.

What did they come for? Camping ranked high on the "West Coast" of Arizona. And plenty of sight seeing: 2 1/2 million folks visited the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City--but if that's big, consider those who visited the Grand Canyon, nearly 4 1/2 million in 2006.
