As entry restrictions continue to ease throughout Europe, Americans are more interested than ever in traveling to the continent’s most desirable destinations, including the cultural giant of Italy.
A recent survey by American Express found that 61% of respondents from all over the world are spending more on international travel this year, while another by Global Rescue found that America’s most experienced travelers were leading a surge of international travel this year because their preparedness and confidence to travel are both generally higher.
With the world reopening to international travel, Italy is just one of the many countries high on future international travelers’ lists: Next Vacay alone saw interest for traveling to Italy rise a stunning 1,300% year-over-year in the days following its March 1 relaxation of entry requirements.
