Research shows American travelers plan more travel in 2022, spending more, too
 
The outlook for travel in 2022 looks promising, reports Destination Analysts this week. One-third of American travelers say that they will travel more in 2022 than they did in 2021 and will spend more money on travel next year. Beaches, rural destinations and national/state parks top the list of desired destinations for American travelers, though two-thirds say they plan to visit cities. Travelers are still making up for lost travel in the new year with 39 percent saying they will increase their family travel and 33 percent saying they will increase travel with friends in 2022. When asked to describe their travel in 2022, top choice words were “hopeful,” “excited,” “fun” and “more.”
