The Top 10 Spring Travel Destinations for 2019 According to Virtuoso

I shot this photograph on Butterfly Beach when Carol and I visited the Four Seasons Resort – The Biltmore Santa Barbara back in 2015.  You can read more about that at this link.

I share this with you because luxury travelers stayed closer to home for their Spring Break travels in March and April.

Here’s this from our Virtuoso Network:

Global luxury travel network Virtuoso® is revealing the around-the-world locations where upscale travelers plan to spend their spring breaks this year, including destinations showing renewed strength following down periods. Hailed as a leading trend forecaster, Virtuoso has examined its warehouse of $49.5 billion in transactions to showcase the top destinations for March and April. With holidays occurring deeper into April this year, the prolonged spring travel period will allow visitors to enjoy warmer temps in many of these must-have destinations.

The Top 10 analysis:

Americans are staying closer to home this spring, seeking the sun in cities such as Los Angeles, Miami, and Orlando. Eternally desirable Europe holds four spots on the list; Italy and France exhibit year-round popularity. U.S. travelers are benefitting from a favorable exchange rate against the euro and pound, and spring’s shoulder season is ideal for enjoying the continent minus the summer crowds. New Zealand and Australia beckon families this time of year with their pleasant temperatures and abundance of active experiences. As the birthplace of major world religions, Israel holds great appeal as an educational family destination, with spring a peak season due to Easter and Passover celebrations. Travelers wanting to see Japan’s famed cherry blossoms are heading there in increasing numbers, as the country is also the top emerging destination of 2019, according to the Virtuoso Luxe Report.
