There's no place like home, and this seems to
hold
true, according to data from the American Bureau of Statistics regarding vacations. According to AnalyticaUSA, most Americans in 2021
chose
to vacation within their own country. From this data, it seems that the majority of Californians stayed in the state
during
their holidays, with only about one-quarter
deciding
to travel abroad. Similarly, in states like Texas and Florida, residents
preferred
local destinations. In contrast, New Yorkers and Nevadans were more likely to
travel
internationally, with nearly seventy-five percent of New Yorkers
opting
for overseas trips. AnalyticaUSA also reports that cars are the
most
common mode of transportation for tourists. Only in regions like Hawaii and Alaska was air travel more
prevalent
. In California, over half of the holidays
were
by car, with just around five percent opting for air travel, and about one-sixth choosing trains with a similar number opting for buses.
