2018 shaping up to be incredible year for travel
By AAA of Western and Central New York
Did you travel in 2017? If so, you're not alone. And, according to AAA Western and Central New York's travel consultants, chances are it was somewhere warm!
The results are in from trips booked throughout the year, and the majority of 2017 destinations were in warm climates. It looks like WNY and CNY residents tried to escape the cold and warm up this year.
According to AAA TripTiks, flights and hotels booked and more, the top travel destinations for 2017 for the Western and Central New York region were:
Florida
Caribbean Cruises
Mexico
Dominican Republic
Alaskan cruises
Jamaica
Nevada (Las Vegas)
Hawaii
European river cruises
California
While Florida and Caribbean cruises held their top spots, Mexico moved up to the third most popular destination. European river cruises, which travel along some the world's most scenic waterways, held onto the No. 9 place, while California made it onto the list at No. 10.
2017 was a tremendous year for travel, and AAA's consultants expect the trend to continue into 2018. If you're considering a 2018 trip, consultants are advising travelers to book now. Cold winter weather has people in the "booking mood," with aircraft and cruise cabins already filling up.
