'Memorial Day is one of the biggest markers of American travel habits, and vacations around this holiday can act as an interesting early indicator of what's ahead for the summer,' HomeToGo Travel Expert and Spokesperson, Eleanor Moody said. 'This year, we're seeing vacationers gravitate toward locations offering space, scenery, and a slower pace—from lakeside gems in the Ozarks, to serene stretches of the Carolina coast, to scenic cities situated in wine country. On average, travelers are venturing 746 miles from home to reach Memorial Day vacation destinations, indicating a preference for spots that feel distinctly different from the everyday, providing both distance and downtime.'
HomeToGo's Memorial Day Travel Report says that the majority of the top ten trending destinations this year are rural or small-town spots, with lake and river retreats, beach towns and island breaks, and gourmet stays in wine country reigning as top priorities.

The Most Expensive Travel Destination For U.S. Tourists Isn't Where You Think
The Most Expensive Travel Destination For U.S. Tourists Isn't Where You Think originally appeared on Parade. As the summer season is starting its crawl to a close, many of us are trying to squeeze in those last-minute trips before kids go back to school and prep for the fall and winter holidays kicks in. But if you're thinking about jetting abroad in the final weeks of summer, it could hit your bank account harder than you'd like. A new study by The Forex Complex crunched the numbers on 19 popular destinations, and let's just say one location is particularly spendy. So which locale takes the crown as having the highest daily vacation costs? Let's just say it's getting icy in here. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Iceland lands in the top spot as the most expensive tourist spot for Americans, according to the report, with daily costs topping $400 in 2025. And while Mexico is usually a go-to for affordable fun, a strong peso is quietly bumping up prices. Meanwhile, Europe's heavy hitters like the UK, Germany and Italy may be a bit kinder to your dollar—but they're still no bargain bin. The UK ranks no. 8 on the list, followed by Germany at no. 9 and Italy rounding out the top Iceland, Australia takes the second spot as most expensive vacation destination for U.S. travelers. Down under, we spend approximately $280.99 per day on holiday. However, that's still roughly $120 cheaper per day than Iceland. The Forex Complex gathered the information for these rankings using three important factors: "average daily tourism-related costs (in USD), local inflation rate and the year-over-year change in the destination's currency against the U.S. dollar." For what it's worth, daily costs were calculated based on lodging, meals, transportation and other standard expenses. "Currency fluctuations can significantly reshape travel costs, even in countries with stable local prices," says a Forex Complex spokesperson. "While daily expenses tend to dominate perceptions of affordability, shifts in exchange rates can quietly make or break a vacation budget for American tourists. In 2025, travelers who overlook currency trends might be in for a costlier summer than expected."The Most Expensive Travel Destination For U.S. Tourists Isn't Where You Think first appeared on Parade on Aug 4, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 4, 2025, where it first appeared.

Clear Secure adds Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand travelers
1 of 5 | Travelers from Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand can now enroll in Clear Secure, the American tech firm that allows people to pay for expedited clearance at U.S. airports, the company confirmed Friday. File Photo by Roger L. Wollenberg/UPI | License Photo Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Travelers from Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand can now enroll in Clear Secure, the American tech firm that allows people to pay for expedited clearance at U.S. airports, the company confirmed Friday. Passengers from the four countries can now enroll in the company's CLEAR+ program, allowing them to quickly get through security lines for a yearly fee. The New York City-based tech firm currently uses its biometric travel document verification systems at 59 airports across the United States, allowing clients to save time going through security checkpoints. The company currently charges $209 for a yearly subscription. "From the beginning, CLEAR's vision has been to make travel safer, easier, and more predictable-using the power of identity," Clear Secure CEO Caryn Seidman Becker said in a statement on the company's website. "By enabling highly vetted travelers from the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to enroll in CLEAR+, we're expanding that vision to more people around the world. Whether you're flying for business or reuniting with family, you should be able to move through the airport with confidence and peace of mind." The company said additional "Visa Waiver countries" will become eligible to subscribe later this year. The program is not related to the PreCheck option offered by the Transportation Safety Administration, which is only open to U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. Initially opened in 2025, NEXUS is another separate program allowing travelers to pay for expedited cross-border travel between the United States and Canada. Earlier this week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection launched a streamlined security system for international travelers, at Los Angeles International Airport to reduce wait times from incoming international flights. Clear Secure stock climbed to start the trading day but was in the red by late morning, down $0.65 or 1.91%, trading at $33.15 at 10:49 EDT Friday.

America's Best Small Towns of 2025
Like apple pie and ice cream, what's more American than a small town? Sure, there's no doubt big cities have their draws: the electric buzz of New York City, the palm tree-lined streets of Los Angeles, and the glittering sunshine of Miami. But with their slower pace of life and wistful air of nostalgia, there's just something about small towns. And let's be honest—there are some misconceptions about these gems scattered across the country. Small towns certainly don't have less to offer than their more populous siblings. You don't need to book a plane ticket to your nearest major city to see a brilliant modern art exhibit or to stock up on the latest fashions. In fact, you can do it all while enjoying a sandy beach day by the sea, a soak in historic hot springs, or a quick adventure on the lake. This year, the Travel + Leisure team rounded up 10 of the most exciting small towns across the U.S. and divided them into categories to best suit your next getaway. We hope these small towns inspire you to hit the road and explore the little places on the map that help make our country the special place it is. Best Small Beach Town Asbury Park, New Jersey Bruce Springsteen's album "Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J." put the town on the global music map in 1973, and for years, only die-hard music fans made the trip to Asbury Park in hopes of scoring tickets to shows at legendary venues like the Stone Pony. But in the early aughts, the LGBTQ+ community invested heavily in the town, restoring its Victorian colonial homes. 'Their investments in real estate and business start ups helped fuel the rebirth which we see exploding today,' says Deb Masco, an employee at the Asbury Ocean Club hotel. The historic boardwalk has been completely reimagined and rivals the coolest street in Brooklyn. 'The diversity is incredible,' says Clinch. 'You can walk down the boardwalk and see gay, straight, black, white, tattooed, conservative, you name it, types of people,' he says. The diverse community has fostered creativity that extends beyond music, to the arts, food, and design scenes. 'There's a raw, creative energy that's hard to describe unless you've spent time here,' says Shauna Lagala, complex hotel manager at the Asbury Collection. 'It's weird in the best way—a mix of old-school Jersey, artists, punks, surfers, and people who just don't want to live anywhere typical. It's the kind of town where you can grab a cold brew at a café run by someone in a band, then walk five minutes and end up in a tattoo shop or an art gallery.' Explore Asbury Park Best Small Mountain Town Boone, North Carolina Rising from the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, Boone, North Carolina, hums with a renewed spirit. The North Carolina town in the Blue Ridge Mountains is home to several buzzy boutique hotels; the Horton Hotel will unveil eight brand-new luxury suites this fall, and the 1850 Hotel opened its doors in March 2025 right on historic King Street. In 2023, Rhode's Motor Lodge awakened from its kitschy slumber, its mid-century charm restored. And Boone's culinary landscape blossoms with bold flavors and unexpected pairings, from rising Asian eateries like The Happy Persimmon and CoBo Sushi Bistro to local vineyards coaxing crisp bubbles from mountain grapes. Long summer days invite you to chase sun-dappled hiking trails, while autumn ignites the mountains in fiery reds and golds, the air rich with the scent of woodsmoke and earth. 'I love the size of it,' says Andy Long, chef and co-owner of Over Yonder, 'small enough to know your neighbors, big enough to have a vibrant dining and music scene. When you talk to people here, it feels like you've known them forever.' From immersive new exhibitions like Jack Boul: Land, City, Home at The Blowing Rock Art & History Museum to events like the iconic Tweetsie Railroad's Heritage Weekend in August, this year offers rich new ways to explore Boone's fusion of historic charm, modern creativity, and deep-rooted traditions that garnered it the moniker, 'Heart of the High Country.' Explore Boone Best Small Lake Town Ogallala, Nebraska 'Not Your Ordinary Town!' boasts a mural on East 1st and North Spruce, marking the entrance into downtown Ogallala, Nebraska. They're right: despite a population of 5,107 spread over barely five square miles, the 'Cowboy Capital of Nebraska' is brimming with history, culture, and Western flair. The town, which derives its name from the Oglala Sioux tribe, was originally a cattle drive stop along the Union Pacific Railroad. Today, it's a charming destination just minutes from not one, but two lakes. At Lake McConaughy—affectionately known to locals as 'Big Mac'—you'll find over 100 miles of soft white sand and clear waters that attract fishers, kayakers, and scuba divers. McConaughy's little sister to the east, Lake Ogallala, may not be as impressive in size, but its sedate, wind-protected waters and winter eagle-viewing facility have their own unique draw. As Ogallala continues to flourish, the town has big plans for the future: Lake Mac Casino Resort, a casino complex that includes a horse racetrack, 180-room hotel, and event space, is expected to complete construction as soon as 2027, with a temporary casino slated to open in the meantime. Explore Ogallala Best Small Desert Town El Centro, California El Centro is the type of town that takes you by surprise. You might expect to pass right through—only to end up spending the better part of an afternoon discovering awesome indie boutiques, stellar tacos, and a warm, creative community. Just over two hours east of San Diego and 15 miles north of the Mexican border town of Mexicali, El Centro has both grit and charm. 'Five cars is considered traffic in El Centro,' jokes Mark Silva, owner of the new Gateway Gallery in nearby Ocotillo. 'The town constantly seems to be on the verge of emerging.' The region's first hotels have popped up in the past year, including an Insta-worthy hot springs hotel midway between San Diego and El Centro, and a handful of makers and chefs are setting up shop in town. The annual Bombay Beach Biennale, a word-of-mouth gathering of creatives, will celebrate its 10th anniversary next year, and a shocking amount of musicians come through this remote desert area. This desert town's gems don't jump out. You need to be looking to discover the cool vintage and vinyl stores, craft beer bars, and artisanal coffee spots. It's fresh off its first-ever restaurant week and given its proximity to the border, the Mexican food is sensational. Plus, hot springs, hiking trails, and funky public art installations are all just a drive away. Explore El Centro Best Small Arts + Culture Town Sewanee, Tennessee 'Sewanee looks like a sleepy college town lost in the Tennessee woods, but there is something unusual happening [here] just about every day and throughout the year,' says Woody Register, professor of history and director of the Roberson Project on Slavery, Race, and Reconciliation at the University of the South. 'Throughout its 170-year history, Sewanee has been very much entangled in the hopes, dreams, conflicts, and contradictions of the world around it.' Set atop Tennessee's Cumberland Plateau, the town is a place that continues to support artistic self-expression and exploration in all forms—books, poetry, music, architecture, dance, theater. It's also a case study in how culture is forged by diversity, religion, history, tradition, and authentic human relationships. From publishing the The Sewanee Review, America's oldest continuously published literary quarterly, to hosting the historic Sewanee Summer Music Festival, Sewanee is, and has always been, a space for ideas to form and take root. Explore Sewanee Best Small Food + Drinks Town Bardstown, Kentucky If you're new to the whiskey world and are just dipping your toe into distillery tours, Bardstown, Kentucky, might be one of those blink-and-you'll-miss-it towns you pass on your way to Lexington or Louisville. But to connoisseurs, it's known as 'Bourbon Capital of the World,' and for good reason: there are 11 distilleries within a 16-mile radius of downtown Bardstown. Even if you're not big into brown spirits, there's plenty to tempt your taste buds here. During spring, summer, and fall, Bardstown hosts a robust farmers market and farm-to-table dinners. Throughout the year, buzzy events like Bardstown Burger Week and the Kentucky Bourbon Festival draw crowds. Any time you swing by, you can fuel up at a variety of seasonally-focused restaurants with bountiful bourbon selections (naturally), Kentucky-made beers, and seriously impressive wine lists (Oak & Ember, for instance, has a level-three sommelier on staff). 'The fact that Bardstown is not a big metro area is part of its charm,' says Kentucky native Norma Smith, a bourbon butler at The Trail Hotel, a newly-opened luxury boutique hotel . 'Folks can come here, learn about bourbon's history, explore local businesses, and not have to feel the hustle-bustle of a large city. Bardstown is a small town with plenty of awesome things to do—and taste!' Explore Bardstown Best Small Spa + Wellness Town Mineral Wells, Texas An hour west of Fort Worth, Mineral Wells, Texas, is a small town steeped in wellness history. It began in 1877, when James Alvis Lynch moved his family and livestock to the area, dug a well on their property, and discovered the water had a funny taste. After testing it on their cattle with no side effects, they began drinking the water themselves, and soon, James and his wife, Armanda, who both suffered from rheumatism, started feeling better. It's said the mineral waters here have a higher concentration of lithium, which helps treat a range of mental and mood disorders. Word spread like wildfire, and tourists from around the world flocked to Mineral Wells in the early 20th century to experience these healing waters. By 1920, the town had 400 mineral wells and was touted as the 'South's greatest health resort.' A century later, Mineral Wells—now the official Wellness Capital of Texas—is seeing a resurgence as locals rally together to revitalize historic properties and honor its wellness theme. Stop into town and you'll feel the slower pace of life and small-town charm coupled with that buzzy aura of rebirth and opportunity. Here, you'll realize there really is just something in the water. Explore Mineral Wells Best Small Retirement Town Panama City Beach, Florida With 320 days of sunshine, plenty of parks, and no state income tax, Panama City Beach (PCB) is an affordable small-town gem (population 19,393) on Florida's Panhandle that's increasingly capturing the attention of retirees. I've called this place home for over three decades, and each morning I take a walk along the soft, powdery white sand before joining water aerobics classes at Frank Brown Park—a perfect blend of gentle exercise and community connection. The laid-back town offers natural beauty alongside an active lifestyle, where you can fish, paddleboard, hike scenic trails, and spot bottlenose dolphins in the emerald Gulf waters. The fresh local seafood, annual wine festival, and host of new attractions add to the allure. 'We moved down here, and I just fell in love with this place,' says artist and Beach Arts Group founder Helen Ferrell. 'It's a great place to live, to raise kids—and people treat you well. They embrace everybody: the military, the tourists, the locals.' Daniel Pratt, the owner of Panama City Coffee Co., shared a similar sentiment. 'People stop and say, 'Hey, how are you doing?' There's a community feel here you just don't find everywhere.' Explore Panama City Beach Best Small Family Town Frankenmuth, MI Walking down the tidy Main Street of Frankenmuth, Michigan, it would be easy to mistake the town of roughly 5,000 for a Bavarian village, albeit without the alpine terrain. Flowers cascade from window boxes, almost too full of life to be contained. Common Bavarian architecture—large murals, steep roofs, ornate trim, and wooden balconies—is present in each and every building. Old-fashioned light posts brighten the picturesque two-square-mile town, adding another touch of historical decoration. The narrow Cass River meanders through town, very slowly at just one mile per hour on a good day. As a lifelong Midwesterner and toddler mom, I can't help but appreciate such a warm and welcoming environment that's perfectly suited for multigenerational trips. This walkable town is perfectly set up for family fun, with a gnome hunt, mural finder, family-style chicken dinners, multiple water parks, a slew of eateries, and festivals all year long. With easy access from multiple metro areas, including the Detroit airport, Frankenmuth proves it packs a punch when it comes to accessible fun for the whole family. Explore Frankenmuth Best Small Shopping Town Taos, New Mexico In northern New Mexico, where the Sangre de Cristo Mountains rise above the desert, the town of Taos unfolds. It's one of the few places where everything from shopping to dining feels like an authentic interaction with the people, the culture, and the land. The town is especially known for its handmade Southwestern art, jewelry, and pottery, much of which can be found in the Taos Plaza, the storefront-lined center of the Taos Historic District. The plaza's expansive history dates back to 1796, when the king of Spain granted the land to 63 families in the Taos area. The following settlement became a place where merchants traveled to display their wares—just as they do today. 'This town isn't just special, it's sacred. The pace, the people, the land—it heals you if you let it,' said Maria Valdez, the owner beloved local restaurant La Luna @ La Fonda, in an interview with Travel + Leisure. 'Taos is a crossroads of cultures, histories, and landscapes. You feel it the moment you arrive.' Explore Taos Read the original article on Travel & Leisure Solve the daily Crossword
