Where Are Travelers Headed?

Montego Bay, Jamaica

Jamaica was recently named the leading destination in the Caribbean and is also considered one of the best vacation spots for this fall and winter. Additionally, one of Jamaica’s tourist hotspots, Montego Bay, is regarded as the trendiest destination for 2022and its airport is considered the best airport to fly into the Caribbean. Its vast selection of all-inclusive resorts also makes it a great destination to call home for a week or two this winter.

Cancun, Mexico

Cancun is another favorite for Americans traveling this fall and winter. Consequently, a recent report stated that Cancun ranks #1 for U.S. travelers this fall. In response, Cancun has added 38% (9.2 million total) more available airline seats than there were in 2019 in order to accommodate the surge in interest. Mexico was also one of the first destinations to remove all Covid requirements, and it seems to be paying off this year as travelers begin to get out there again after two years of restrictions.

A Word Of Caution

The worst days of the pandemic seem to be behind us, but that doesn’t mean these countries couldn’t change their policies. In fact, Germany recently announced that they would be reinstating their mask mandate for the winter. Always check travel requirements before heading off to your destination. Covid protocols, visa requirements, and other travel rules could all affect your trip, so it’s essential to double-check before heading to the airport.

Finally, after ensuring everything is in order, jet off to one of these beautiful Caribbean destinations this fall and winter for a vacation you won’t forget!
