Top 10 Destinations for Summer 2022

Here is a list of the top 10 destinations for the summer of 2022.

Last week, we shared the Top European Destinations for 2022 from the perspective of people who bought travel insurance policies.

Now, with this list, we share the top 10 destinations globally for the summer of 2022 from the perspective of actual bookings made in our Virtuoso travel network.

Here’s this from Virtuoso:

Virtuoso®, the leading global network specializing in luxury and experiential travel, has identified where affluent Americans are venturing this summer.

Thanks to its data warehouse of more than $49.5 billion in travel bookings, Virtuoso pinpoints the top 10 domestic and international destinations for the season.

Travel is seeing an unprecedented resurgence, with perennial favorites throughout Europe proving this summer’s biggest draw for Virtuoso travelers. And while 82 percent of Virtuoso travelers polled said that they were heading to the beach for spring break, A-list destinations like Africa, Australia, and Alaska unavailable to Americans last year are now the ones to watch.

Wherever travelers decide to go this summer, they need to plan and book quickly. Virtuoso advisors say that favorite spots like Italy’s Amalfi Coast are nearly sold out.

While Americans are continuing to explore the splendor of the U.S., it’s the return to European summer vacations following a two-year hiatus that is clearly garnering the most excitement.

With seven of the top 10 destinations located in Europe, pent-up demand outweighs any concerns associated with the conflict in Ukraine. Neighboring Canada, which was also off-limits to U.S. travelers last summer, is making its return to the list. And to the south, Mexico remains a yearlong favorite.

As we study this list, the only addition we would make is Portugal.  We have quite a number of folks experiencing a Douro river cruise in 2022.
