Americans' top domestic summer-vacation destination this year is right in the Sunshine State. Orlando takes the top spot of summer travel destination. Surprisingly, though, no South Florida locales have made the Top 10.
AAA credits central Florida's popularity to theme parks and proximity to beaches for clinching the top spot.
“This is shaping up to be another banner season for travel as Americans look to get out and enjoy themselves in the summer sun,” said Bill Sutherland, senior vice president, AAA Travel and Publishing. “Travelers are making plans now to visit theme parks, sail away on cruise vacations, relax at the beach and explore cities in the U.S. and across the globe.”
Despite higher gas prices, AAA also says that nearly two-thirds of those planning a family trip are expected to hit the roads this year.
The top international summer travel destination - based on bookings - is Rome, Italy.
