According to several sources I checked, the average American takes 11 vacation days each year. Some more, some less. Whether or not they actually go somewhere depends on the person and their circumstances. Some people go abroad. But these days, most foreign countries do not want us.
Where are the most popular spots in the United States, then?
New York City – Most-visited American city with around 66 million annual tourists
Orlando, Florida – Known as the “Theme Park Capital of the World” with record visitation (~65 million in 2018)
Las Vegas, Nevada – Draws huge crowds—Las Vegas Strip saw ~42 million visits in 2021
Maui, Hawaii – Hawaii consistently ranks among the top American vacations, with Maui drawing nearly 3 million visitors in 2022
National Parks (Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Yosemite) – U.S. News named Glacier National Park #1 and Yellowstone #2 – Grand Canyon and Yosemite also frequently lead national park rankings.
