In 2020 the travel industry took a big hit because of the COVID-19 pandemic. With the vaccine being slowly distributed around the U.S., it may be months before Americans can travel again. When people are finally able to move about the world freely, there are few travel destinations that will be waiting for them with open arms. There are certain resort towns that are likely to offer great deals to get people to start visiting again.
Florida
Whether you visit the white sand beaches of South Florida or you decide to travel to Orlando and see the happiest place on earth, the Sunshine State will be a major tourist attraction when the pandemic comes to an end.
With its beautiful beaches and upscale bars and restaurants, Florida has always been a big draw for college students on vacation. Its many amusement parks and museums make it the perfect place for a family getaway. You can visit eva-marieberry.blogspot.com to learn more about traveling in Florida.
Chiapas, Mexico
You will get to see two countries for the price of one if you visit the charming Mexican town that borders Guatemala. You can go hiking in the mountains where you will see beautiful panoramic views. If you prefer to keep your feet on the ground you can tour one of many Mayan archaeological sites.
You can go on a bar tour where you will get to partake of alcohol known as pox. It is a drink that the Mayans used in spiritual ceremonies. Spanish missionaries once tried to take the potent stuff away from the tribe, but they resisted. It is considered to have magical properties and is often consumed in the presence of a spiritual guide.
You will find plenty of places to go rafting in the Soconusco Region. You can also go on a tour of a coffee farm. The fact that it is one of Mexico’s lesser-known tourist spots makes it great for actually getting away from it all.
The Catskill Mountains
Known as the favorite getaway for the Borscht Belt, this resort area began to gain notoriety in the 1920s and was popular until the 1960s. It has recently been rediscovered and there are many boutique hotels opening up. Some of the new hotels will have special offers to introduce themselves to the public.
Burlington, VT
If you want to experience the perfect summer getaway, you may want to visit the city of Burlington, Vermont. In addition to the beautiful mountains and forests for which the state is famous, it is also a small city with plenty of fun and innovative bars and restaurants.
You can enjoy boating on Lake Champlain and go camping in the woods one day and stay at the Hotel Vermont and have dinner in a fancy restaurant the next day.
When people visit New England, they generally visit two or three states because they are all very small and close together. If you visit Vermont, New Hampshire is very close by and offers beautiful hiking and natural areas.
Traveling is one of the greatest pleasures in life and once most Americans are vaccinated many will hit the open road. Until then be sure to stay safe, and plan your trip well in advance.
