Agents rate top five us destinations
AAA Travel agents rated the top five most attractive discounts or values for summer travel in the US this way: California, Hawaii, Las Vegas, Orlando and Seattle.
New York fell off the list.
Hawaii was not among the top five last summer, according to AAA, which did the survey with its agents.
“Despite generally higher prices for gasoline, hotels and other vacation costs, Americans continue to hit the road, rails, skies and sea,” said Sandra Hughes, AAA Travel vice president Internationally.
AAA agents said the top summer destinations were London, Cancun, Rome, the Caribbean generally, and Montego Bay.
Last year the top five were London, Rome, Paris, Vancouver and Ireland.
The survey found that 69 percent of travel agents are seeing increases in overall summer travel bookings compared to last year despite higher fuel costs, rising hotel rates, and a weak U.S. dollar.
