Allianz Partners released the results of its summer destinations review. The travel insurance company analyzed 985,000 flight itineraries of trips between five and eight days during the summer travel season between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. Florida, Hawai’i, the Caribbean and Mexico are the most popular destinations.

 

For the fifth year in a row, Orlando, Florida, and Cancun, Mexico, took the top spots for domestic and international destinations, respectively. Hawai’i increased in popularity with four destinations in the top 10 compared to two in 2020 and 2019. The Caribbean also increased in popularity with seven destinations in the top 10.
