The glamorous desert oasis of Las Vegas, the lush island beauty of Maui and the theme park capital of Orlando top the list of the most popular vacation destinations in the U.S. for fall 2012.
That’s according to the Travel Leaders Group 2012 Fall Travel Trends survey, which asked its U.S.-based agency owners, managers and agents about the vacations they are booking for clients for the remainder of this year.
Maui moved up from fifth to second in this year’s survey, overtaking Honolulu as the top destination in Hawaii. Maui’s beautiful beaches, waterfalls, and sunrises viewed from the 10,000-foot Haleakala volcano are timeless pleasures, but the island always offers something new. For example, Wailea’s first Wine and Food Festival will be held December 6-9, on the grounds of a lovely oceanfront resort complex.
Orlando is another perennial favorite: Walt Disney World Resort and a host of other attractions ensure that there’s always something to do to in the Central Florida sunshine. Disney World recently opened The Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow attraction, to the delight of Pirates of the Caribbean fans. On December 6, more new attractions – such as Journey of the Little Mermaid and the Be Our Guest Restaurant – will open in the resort’s Fantasyland area.
The rest of the top ten domestic destinations are also terrific options for a fall vacation – you could accomplish some holiday shopping in these locations, too. They are:
4. New York, NY
5. Honolulu, HI
6. San Francisco, CA
7. Washington, DC
8. Chicago, IL
9. Los Angeles, CA
10. Fort Lauderdale, FL
