Tuesday, October 17, 2006

MINNEAPOLIS -- Las Vegas led the list of domestic destinations booked for fall but Florida had four cities in the top 10, according to a survey of 334 agents from Carlson Wagonlit Travel Associates.

The most popular Florida cities were Orlando, Fort Meyers, Fort Lauderdale and Miami. Other domestic vacation spots in the top 10 were Honolulu, Maui, New York, San Francisco and Phoenix.

Taking a Caribbean cruise was the top international vacation, but five Mexican destinations were in the top 10: Cancun, the Riviera Maya, Cabo San Lucas/Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta and Playa del Carmen. Jamaica and the Dominican Republic placed in the top 10 as well, along with London and Rome, which climbed to fourth place this year from seventh place in the top 10 last year.

Three other Italian destinations, Florence, Tuscany and Venice, were in the top 20 international destinations.

A little more than half of the agents surveyed said their business was higher this year than last.
