Top Ten – Summer 2018

Hot 10 – Summer 2018

These countries have seen the largest growth in year-over-year bookings. Greece is emerging from financial upheaval, while Poland attracts travelers looking for something less-touristed (and with better value). For island appeal, travelers are looking to the Dominican Republic, Turks & Caicos, and Saint Lucia, all of which had minimal to no impact from the September 2017 hurricanes.
Number one on the Hot List? Greece.
1. Greece
2. Poland
