Orlando, London Hottest Summer Destinations
Orlando is the most popular destination in the US for the summer season, according to bookings by members of the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA).
Internationally, the hot spot is London.
Orlando was chosen as the top domestic (US) destination by 17% of the respondents in ASTA’s 2015 Hot Spots for Summer survey, followed by Las Vegas (13%), San Francisco (4%), New York City (3%), Miami (3%), Los Angeles(2%), Anaheim (2%), San Diego (2%), New Orleans (2%) and Washington, D.C. (2%).
“Orlando and Las Vegas have not changed since we released our Hot Spots for Winter survey, and in fact, have been on top for 13 years in a row,” said ASTA president Zane Kerby. “We are happy to see Washington, D.C., round out the top 10 this year. ASTA itself will contribute to the destination’s visitor numbers this summer when we bring hundreds of travel agents and suppliers to the nation’s capitol in August for the ASTA Global Convention.”
The top 10 international hot spots for summer are London (7%), Rome (7%), Paris (6%), Cancun (4%), Punta Cana (3%), Barcelona (1%), Florence (1%), Venice (1%), Dublin (1%) and Riviera Maya (1%). The top four cities remained the same for the 13th year in a row. New to the list are Dublin and Venice, which pushed Amsterdam and Montego Bay off the list.
