For the upcoming Thanksgiving weekend, it’s the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade which again is taking place in-person. which has drawn interest from travelers.
Other domestic destinations which topped the survey included Seattle in second, Boston in third, Atlanta in fourth and Dallas-Fort Worth in fifth.
For those looking to escape the cold and enjoy warm festive weather, Cancun (for the second year in a row) tops the list of international Thanksgiving travel spots. Along with Cancun, those in second and third San Jose Del Cabo and Puerto Vallarta respectively, are beach destinations on Mexico’s Pacific coast.
To round up the top five on the international travel spots include London in fourth place and Montego Bay, Jamaica in fifth.
The index also revealed the last three years of holiday destinations, and most notably domestically was the rise of Atlanta from ninth in 2020 to fourth in 2021 and the inclusion of Chicago and Detroit this year as well.
