Destinations / North America

This summer, take your family travel to the open road! According to Google Trends, no-passport vacations are the top trending vacation type in 2025 so far. In fact, a survey from Club Wyndham and Talker found twice as many participants would rather drive to a vacation than fly and 60 percent believe they have not seen enough cities or attractions in the United States.

To help spark inspiration, Club Wyndham created two drive-cation itineraries with easy accommodations:

 

Drive Through America’s Natural Wonders

Set out on the ultimate nature lover’s cross-country adventure and check off several national parks along the way. WorldMark by Wyndham’s Hiking Concierge Program recently teamed up with Ash Nudd, a national parks expert to share recommendations, comprehensive park itineraries and packing tips. Start your trip with a stay at WorldMark Moab while exploring beautiful Arches National Park. Next, drive west to WorldMark Bass Lake for a safe homebase while visiting Yosemite. Continue to WorldMark West Yellowstone for easy access to Yellowstone National Park. A stay at WorldMark St. George is perfect for a visit to Zion to see the towering red rock formations. Lastly, head to WorldMark Estes Park, where the Rocky Mountains await.

Mosey Along the Maine Coast

Maine is the perfect state for a road trip. Travelers can explore scenic coastal views, charming small towns, outdoor adventures and even a delicious lobster roll. Set out on Coastal Route 1 to discover the best of the state. Start your trip in Ogunquit, a charming coastal town offering restaurants, shops and an art scene. While exploring the town, stay at The Dunes on the Waterfront, a collection of coastal cottages just steps away from Ogunquit Beach. Next, travel 20 minutes north to Biddeford for a foodie paradise featuring the state’s oldest diner and various James Beard Award-nominated chefs. The Lincoln Hotel offers the perfect stay for travelers thanks to its prime location in the heart of the city. Finish the trip with a drive north along the beautiful coastline before reaching the final destination of Mount Desert Island, home to Acadia National Park. Spend your nights at Salt Cottages, perfect for a family-friendly stay.

Dollar Flight Club Launches Enhanced Platform to Help Save on Travel

Affording travel for yourself is hard enough lately, so, if you’re making plans for the whole family, a little help can be a welcome relief. Dollar Flight Club, a membership travel service that helps find affordable flights for customers, recently launched a new platform to make finding affordable, personalized flight options even easier.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.

Multi-Generational Travel Reimagined at Sensei

Although many hotels and resorts tend to focus more on the younger children side of multigenerational family trips, Sensei is helping older generations form a new connection through workshops and wellness.
