Despite an overall drop in tourism this year, Cancún, Mexico continues to be a must-see destination. Two other Mexican cities join the top 10 list for this summer, San José del Cabo and Puerto Vallarta. Missing from this year’s list? Surprising European cities like London and France!

Top 10 international summer destinations:

Cancún, Mexico
Aruba Island, Aruba
San José del Cabo, Mexico
Nassau, Bahamas
Higuey, Dominican Republic
Montego Bay, Jamaica
Providenciales, Turks and Caicos
San Juan, Puerto Rico
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands

The Allianz survey interprets the top destinations as a reflection of Americans desires to stay close to home, as opposed to traveling beyond the comforts of our geographic neighbors.

When it comes to domestic travel, cities with large tourist attractions (theme parks, shows) still garner the most summer traffic. Expect to see lots of fellow travelers at the top 10 destinations below.
