Travelers are shelling out an average of $5,325 on their trips this year—a nearly 14% jump from 2024**. This surge in spending highlights a continued commitment to leisure travel, even amid economic uncertainties and competing financial priorities.

"Even with rising costs, we continue to see Americans' prioritizing leisure travel, says Daniel Durazo, director of external communications at Allianz Partners USA. "We know that travelers are balancing a number of financial priorities so it's more important than ever to safeguard upcoming travel. A travel insurance policy ensures that if covered travel cancellations and interruptions, travel delays and unexpected illness or injuries come up, your hard-earned dollars can be repurposed for another trip."
For travelers staying in the U.S., Orlando remains the most popular location for the second year in a row. Other top domestic destinations include New York (#2), Phoenix (#3), Las Vegas (#4), Miami (#5), Fort Lauderdale (#6), Los Angeles (#7), Seattle (#8), Dallas (#9), and Atlanta (#10).
