When it comes to tourism, the state of Arizona isn't exactly "slacking" when it comes to seeing out-of-staters coming to the area. In 2023, the state generated 4.3 billion dollars in tourism. Not only is Arizona making it's mark in tourism, the state of Arizona is a hot spot for raising a family. Multiple Greater Phoenix area communities are being ranked on the "Best Of" list in a nation-wide survey. This list is made up of smaller towns throughout the country, which makes sense. Most families enjoy living in smaller cities to live on a street where you know your neighbors and to experience that "small-town" community. So when you look at this list, the Arizona cities that made it definitely promote and exhibit that family, small-town community feel.
