Among the most eager travelers in the world, Americans are researching and booking summer getaways to sunny domestic spots that are reopening.
Mark Crossey, U.S. travel expert at Skyscanner, said Americans are looking for short, domestic trips — 87% of trips booked at the site are for a week or less — and are favoring spots with fewer pandemic-related restrictions.
"Both Florida and Nevada no longer have travel restrictions for visitors and California anticipates its restrictions will soon lift, too," he said. "All of these destinations enjoy warm summer weather and have plenty of activities for people to enjoy after a quiet year." Crossey said he expects to see Americans continue to travel in their own backyard throughout 2021, and anticipates "a resurgence in foreign trips as soon as international travel restrictions relax and popular European destinations reopen."
The top five destinations from Skyscanner, Braze and Apptopia are, in fact, all cities: Las Vegas, Orlando, Los Angeles, Miami and New York. All but L.A. and the Big Apple, meanwhile, made Booking.com's own list of top 10 destination searches for summer travel, which also featured seaside spots such as Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and Ocean City, Maryland. The site's survey found 61% of people plan to hit the sand at some point this summer.Here are the top 10 searched domestic U.S.
