The biggest decline in vacation popularity amongst Americans can be seen in China. There has been a 75.03% decrease in Google searches for flights, vacations and hotels in China this year. Following the emergence of Covid-19 China imposed strict border policy, and suspended all visas on-arrival, so it’s not surprising to see such a decline in popularity.  

Further Study Insights: 
  • Puerto Rico is the most popular country for Americans searching for vacations with 1.6 million searches in the last 6 months. 
  • Cancun, Mexico is the most in-demand city destination with US tourists. 

  • Frankfurt, Germany is the city decreasing in popularity the most amongst US tourists, experiencing a decline of 61.38% between 2020 and 2021.
