Wakefield, Mass. (August 3, 2023) – According to the article “The Ultimate Fact Guide to America’s Tourism Industry Including Outbound, Inbound, Domestic & Business Travel Figures”, 61 percent of Americans say they are only taking domestic trips within the U.S. in 2023 and most will drive to their destination.* With the continued increase in demand for travel within the U.S., Villas of Distinction® announces that it’s added new destinations to its portfolio.
“We are continuously monitoring travel trends and speaking with our travel advisors about what their clients and our guests are seeking in their next dream vacation,” said Steve Lassman, vice president of villa product and agency relations for Villas of Distinction. “We are not seeing the demand for domestic travel slow down, so we are continuing to increase our villa options in popular U.S. destinations to feed this desire.”
New destinations to the Villas of Distinction portfolio include Arizona, Oregon, and Washington State.
In Arizona, there are new villa options in Phoenix and Scottsdale. Arizona, “The Grand Canyon State”, is the perfect destination for visitors who want to take in beautiful desert landscapes and learn about its Native American and Old West heritage.
