Getting Warmer
As with last year, RedWeek’s statistics show that warm weather destinations continue to dominate travel plans for 2023, with Hawaii, Aruba, Florida, California, South Carolina and Mexico coming in at the top. Notably, Hawaii resorts make up more than ⅓ of the list, demonstrating that vacationers are ready to travel further to enjoy sunnier destinations after a few years of staying closer to home due to pandemic-era concerns and restrictions.
Comeback Kids
Another trend is the re-emergence of certain destinations. California’s Palm Desert, for example, is resurging, with two resorts emerging on the 2023 list: Marriott’s Desert Springs Villas II and Marriott’s Desert Spring Villas. Additionally, Harborside Resort at Atlantis in the Bahamas, a resort that was in RedWeek’s Top 5 until 2019, is making a big comeback, moving up from #21 in 2022 to #13 in 2023.
