Recent Destination Updates
The Bahamas is always an exciting destination for American travelers as it tends to exceed expectations.
That is why the low-cost airline JetBlue has also included new routes to this destination, and a few months ago, Disney Cruise Line announced a new exclusive island in the country that will be added to its itinerary next summer.
The Bahamas archipelago continues to gain popularity and Mexico is not far behind either.
While there are many fascinating cities and the Mexican culture is quite broad and rich, American travelers can’t seem to get enough of the coast.
Alaska Airlines is adding new routes on the Pacific coast to places with spectacular resorts and beaches – the perfect winter getaway!
One of these Pacific destinations, Puerto Vallarta, has been improving security to keep travelers safe and happy, making the resorts the safest places in Mexico.
For those looking for luxurious experiences and a truly relaxing vacation, Los Cabos is one of the best destinations.
The Gem of the Mexican Pacific is America’s new favorite sunny destination for its stunning nature, incredible wellness centers, and great cultural experiences.
