Travel Biz News —
More Americans are interested in travelling within the United States despite challenges of COVID – 19 , according to a report released by Musement.
Domestic tourism has seen significant growth over the past year and will continue to do so in the near future.
Musement, the digital discovery and booking platform for travel activities and experiences in over 140 countries around the world, conducted a study to find out the most popular attraction in each state of the United States and produced a map with the results recently.
“With the start of summer right around the corner, schools have closed their doors and families are planning their next dreamy vacation. Due to the pandemic, many Americans had to put their travel plans on hold last year. However, as vaccination rates keep improving and more states continue to fully reopen, it is time to get back out and explore , “ Musement stated .
From north to south and from coast to coast, America is packed with diverse landscapes that are worth exploring for every type of traveler. Each state has its own culture and landmarks that make them unique.
‘Whether you are a beach lover, amusement park guru, or a history buff, pay a visit to one, or more, of these 50 attractions and rediscover America, ‘it said.
National parks and outdoor attractions make up almost one third of the most popular attractions in the United States. From the greats like The Grand Canyon (Arizona) and the urban oasis Central Park (New York) to lesser-known gems like Blackwater Falls State Park (West Virginia) or the Gulf Islands National Seashore (Mississippi) and its beaches, a visitor can get a taste of cultural activities while enjoying Mother Nature.
Thrill seekers and families with young ones will be glad to see that ten states across the country have amusement/theme parks as their number one attraction.
“Snap pictures with Mickey and your favorite Disney characters at Walt Disney World (Florida) or Disneyland Park (California). Otherwise, you can escape to Europe and visit Busch Gardens Williamsburg (Virginia). Got a craving for chocolate? Head to Hersheypark (Pennsylvania) and see what the hype is all about. “
History buffs will be able to turn the clocks back at the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation (Michigan) where they can witness some of America’s most historical items, discover what life was like in the 1830s at The Alamo (Texas), or jump on board the World War II battleship turned museum at the USS Alabama (Alabama).
Animal lovers across the states have the opportunity to visit some of the world’s best zoos and aquariums. From Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium (Nebraska) and its one-of-a-kind exhibits to the world-renowned Georgia Aquarium (Georgia), one of the largest in the world, to the west coast’s Oregon Zoo, the United States offers plenty to admire.
Musement is headquartered in Milan and has offices in Hamburg, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Dubai, London, Munich, New York, Orlando and Paris.
