“As the world returns to travel, priorities are changing, and people want more memorable experiences on their trips. Three-quarters (75%) of Americans say that it’s important they ‘see new places’ when thinking about their future travel plans,” said Steven Paganelli, Director, Destinations, Hotels and OTAs, Americas at Tripadvisor.
Trending Florida cities in the U.S. for 2022 include Fort Myers Beach (5th), Clearwater (6th), and Naples (9th).
