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.
While some are heading abroad, most Spring Breakers are staying stateside, with 79% of itineraries booked for domestic destinations and 21% for international trips*.

"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).
