Top Summer Travel Destinations

According to a recent poll of travel agents by American Express, many of the family friendly U.S. and international destinations continue to hold strong for families this summer.

Within the U.S., Orlando ranked first, New York City second, and Miami third. Las Vegas and Hawaii rounded out the top five domestic travel destinations for families.

When agents were asked to name the most popular international destinations for families, London, Rome and Paris, took the top three spots. Other popular international destinations for families included Cancun, Mexico, Nassau in the Bahamas, and San Jose, Costa Rica.
