After two years of staying at home during a world-wide pandemic, Americans are getting their travel fix. Travel is up 16% compared to 2021, with almost 75% percent of Americans planning to travel domestically for their summer getaways, according to Allianz Partners’ Top 10 Summer Destinations review.
“Our findings show that ‘revenge travel’ is about to be taken to a whole new level in summer 2022,” says Daniel Durazo, director of external communications at Allianz Partners. “While it’s no surprise that Americans are planning to kick back and relax in sun-soaked destinations both domestically and internationally, U.S. cities that were once buzzing tourist destinations pre-pandemic, like Boston, New York and Los Angeles, are seeing a significant return of travelers this summer as well, signaling a positive step in tourism recovery.”

To find out the most popular locales for satisfying wanderlust during summer 2022, we analyzed more than 1,175 flight itineraries for trips between five and eight days in length. Here is a guide to the top five national and international destinations Americans are heading to this summer:
The Theme Park Capital of the World, Orlando is the ultimate U.S. destination for families. Make your little’s dreams come true with trips to Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Orlando Resort, and Seaworld Orlando.
The sunny city offers more than theme parks. Less than an hour’s drive away, you can go scuba diving in several warm, natural springs and encounter manatees. Take in a performance by the Orlando Ballet or a traveling Broadway production at Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in the center of downtown Orlando.
From Visit Orlando: “Whether you’re a theme park enthusiast, bird watcher, foodie, water sports fanatic, sun worshipper, arts patron, serious shopper or anything in between, you’re always welcome here. The possibilities are endless. And wonder is always within reach. It’s the getaway you deserve — and you’ll only find it in Orlando.”
Nicknamed the Emerald City, Seattle is covered in greenery year-round. The city is known for abundant outdoor spaces that blend the urban and natural worlds. Discovery Park, the city’s largest urban park, showcases 534 acres of tidal beaches, sea cliffs, and forests. Board the largest fleet of ferries in the U.S. for a scenic way to get from downtown Seattle to more laid-back locales such as Bainbridge, known for its quaint shops and culinary scene. Or, take to the skies over nearby Mount Ranier and downtown Seattle on a hot air balloon ride.
Hawaii is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. The state receives nearly 10 million visitors annually, and many of them flock to the capital, Honolulu. The city’s bustling Waikiki neighborhood is filled with luxury high rises, shops, and cafes bordering white sand beaches. History lovers should visit the beautiful Iolani Palace, spanning several acres of downtown Honolulu. The palace is an architectural gem and relic of The Kingdom of Hawaii, which was overthrown in the late 19th century.
Located on Central Maui, Kahului connects the island to the larger world, due to its large harbor and airport. The small and charming city is the perfect jumping off point to explore Maui hotspots such as Kaanapali Beach, where some of the most luxurious resorts in the U.S. line its clear waters. Explore Haleakala, a dormant shield volcano with one of the world’s largest volcanic craters. Kahului is also a great place to experience Hawaiian cuisine. Some favorite local restaurants include Da Kitchen, Poi By The Pound, Bistro Casanova, and Wow Wee Maui Kava Bar and Grill.
Try a Boston Cream Pie or have a beer at the famous Cheers bar in Beacon Hill before you take in the historic sites in one of the most pivotal cities in the birth of America. Visit Paul Revere’s former home in North Boston, or Trinity Church Boston, honored as one of the “Ten most Significant Buildings in the United States” by the American Institute of Architects. Take a walk along the Charles River.
The resort hotspot’s Mexican Caribbean beaches are unmatched in the eyes of many tourists. Board a glass bottom boat or put on scuba gear to tour the Underwater Museum of Art, which has more than 500 sculptures installed on the seabed in galleries at depths of 13 and 26 feet. Swim in clear cenotes along Riviera Maya. If you want to experience fun as a Cancunense would, visit Palapas Park in the middle of the city. While there, buy Mexican street food and souvenirs, or watch a local show.
This city is where tourists can experience traditional Mexican architecture and charm. Leisurely stroll plazas, shop, and enjoy seafood, and visit Plaza Mijares, which contains the town’s mission church and town hall and several restaurants. Snorkel and watch marine life at nearby Playa Palmilla and Playa Santa Maria. Stay at the elegant and world-renowned One&Only Palmilla.
The island’s quaint capital is a prime cruise ship port with lots of attractions for the family. Brightly colored Dutch colonial buildings give the city architectural charm and interest. Take a stroll to discover galleries, shops, and museums. Visit the Butterfly Farm or the Aruba Aloe Museum and Factory.
The city is a good base for exploring Aruba’s epic beaches. Malmok Beach and secluded Arashi Beach are great for swimming and snorkeling, while east coast spots such as Bachelor's Beach, and Boca Grandi, have rough currents that attract experienced windsurfers and kitesurfers. Aruba is also known for some of best wreck diving in the Caribbean.
Take a less than two-hour flight from Miami to visit Montego Bay for gorgeous beaches and booming nightlife. Take in the city’s history through walking tours and a trip to the noteworthy Bob Marley Museum. Vibe at Reggae Sumfest, the largest reggae festival in the Caribbean, to be held this year from July 18 to July 23.
Lounge under palms beside turquoise waters on Bavaro Beach, Arena Gorda Beach, and Playa Macao. Although beaches are the most well-known attractions on the Island of Hispaniola, the country’s inland is filled with jungles and incredible waterfalls, such as the Salto Socoa Waterfall, which cascades into a natural swimming pool.
