PHOENIX -- You don't have to jet off to Paris or Cannes to have a great summer getaway.
Travel experts at the state's
Office of Tourism say there are some must see spots right here in Arizona.
"People from all over the world come to Arizona to view our landscapes and take advantage of our culture and history that we offer," tourism spokesperson, Marjorie Magnusson said. "There's no reason you need to jet off, you can stay here and enjoy that this summer."
Tourism officials say there are deals across the state, and finding them can be just a phone call, or click away.
"You can find accomodations, you can find just day trips, that include a meal and some museums," Magnusson said.
Experts advise you to join website mailing lists to get e-mails about the latest deals. Many destinations offer web-only exclusive deals that are out there.
Another trick, either book your trip way in advance, or wait until the last minute.
Booking your trip outside of the average booking window can save you money on resorts hotels and cars.
The experts say, above all, whether you're camping out under the stars or seeking luxury five star accomodations, be flexible and stretch your dollar.
"From $29 up to $1,000. Even though $1,000 may seem like a lot, wait until you see what's included because it's definitely a value," Magnusson said.
