According to the new 2026 Destinations of the Summer from Expedia\u00ae, domestic destinations within driving distance or a short flight are the most popular places to travel this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of long-haul travel this summer, travelers are increasingly looking for beach towns, mountain trails, lakes, and national park getaways within the U.S. Social buzz for domestic trips has doubled in the U.S. and 63% of travelers are already planning a domestic getaway this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Destinations of the Summer list, featured in the Unpack \u201926 Summer: The Trends in Travel report, is made up of vacation spots including Florida and California beaches, where searches are up 50% this summer, and local outdoor hotspots like lakes, mountains and national parks where interest has spiked 65% year-over-year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re seeing travelers choosing destinations closer to home this summer as they react to economic pressures and global uncertainty,\u201d said Melanie Fish, Vice President, Global Public Relations, Expedia Group. \u201cEase of travel is a major driver \u2013 the most appealing trips may be the ones that don\u2019t require going too far.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several of the Destinations of the Summer also meet the criteria for<strong> Expedia\u2019s Smart Travel Health Check<\/strong>.
