Happy Thursday! Is it just me or does it feel like most people have escaped the city for vacation? The streets are less packed and you can actually get last-minute dinner reservations at popular restaurants (this is a rarity in ATX!).
Speaking of vacationing, everywhere I look it seems like someone is sharing photos of their current adventures in Europe. In fact, I recently saw an interesting article that revealed how, for Americans, European travel is up a whopping 600% this summer. (Keep reading below to find out which European cities are the most popular summer vacation destinations!)
I know how it can be traveling in Europe, or somewhere new, and having that wonderful feeling of discovering a different way of life. Who else has thought, “Maybe I could live here?” Or, “It would be nice to have a second home here!” Well, if this is something you’ve been recently thinking about, then I can help! My team and I have a huge network of other top agents around the country and outside of the U.S. that we can refer you to for the best help wherever you’re looking to buy. And if you’ve had any great travel adventures this summer and want to share, I’d love to know!

American Travel to Europe is Up 600% Over Last Summer, Study Says
|
"Americans are forgoing the traditional summer road trip and instead packing their bags and passports for a European holiday this year. According to Allianz Partners’ 'Top 10 Summer European Destinations' review, travel to Europe will be up 600 percent over last year as countries reopen for visitation from the U.S.
The travel insurance and assistance company analyzed more than 40,000 flight itineraries for trips of five to eight days in length between Memorial Day and Labor Day to determine that London retains the lion’s share of all planned trips with 22 percent of all bookings. Paris (No. 2) and Dublin (No. 3) also remains atop Europe’s most sought-after vacation spots for 2022 summer travel.
Other top destinations include Reykjavik, holding steady at No. 4, while Lisbon jumped into the No. 7 position, returning to the list for the first time since 2019. Rome and Edinburgh moved up to No. 5 and No. 6, respectively, after Athens fell three spots from 2021 to No. 8 this year. Barcelona (No. 9) and Amsterdam (No. 10) round out the roster, each slipping one position from last year’s rankings," says Travel Agent Central.
