Orlando, Las Vegas top US summer holiday rankings

Orlando and Las Vegas have retained their status as the most popular summer holiday destinations in the US, according to research by the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA).

The organisation surveyed its travel consultants and found that 17.7 per cent identified Orlando as their leading summer hotspot, while 16.2 per cent said Las Vegas was their top location.

San Francisco, Miami and Los Angeles completed the top five.

ASTA consultants were also questioned about the international destinations that have seen the highest demand so far this year, with London, Rome and Paris taking the top three spots.

There were some new entries in the top ten, namely Hong Kong in China and Riviera Maya in Mexico.

Chris Russo, president and chair of the ASTA, said: "Although the top destinations have remained relatively unchanged for many years, it's interesting to see some fresh destinations, both domestic and international, appear on the scene."
