Holiday Travel by the Numbers: New York City Takes the Top Spot

New York City is not only one of the most popular American tourist destinations, it is also one of the most popular holiday travel destinations. A New York City vacation can be the perfect way to relax and unwind on your next holiday but getting there can be a bit stressful!

With a seemingly infinite amount of holiday themed activities to enjoy, New York City is the perfect tourist destination – beating out Los Angeles, Chicago and Dallas.

Whether you visit for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s there will be tons to do. If you’re a native New Yorker it’s the perfect time to slow down your busy schedule and enjoy all of what the city has to offer.
