As vaccinations roll out, Americans across the country are wiping the dust off their suitcases and planning that much-longed-for getaway they have been putting on hold since the coronavirus pandemic broke out in March 2020.
Not surprisingly, beach and outdoor locations are topping the list of preferred tourist spots this summer, with TripAdvisor revealing its top ten most popular summer destinations for 2021.
“This summer, we continue to see travelers favor outdoor locations like beaches or national parks, locations that continue to enable the practice of social distancing,” Tripadvisor spokesperson Brian Hoyt, said in a statement reported by Insider.
