Hawaii tops honeymooner’s list of where to wed
What is the top US dream destination for honeymooners?
Answer: Hawaii, according to MacNair Travel & Cruises/American Express in a recent survey.
Tahiti/Bora Bora ranked second.
Other findings:
- August is the top travel month for honeymooners.
- Monday is the most popular departure day, and five to seven days is the typical length of a honeymoon.
- The budget range is anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000.
Honeymoons are being planned in a shorter time, said NacNair Travel’s Vacation Manager Skip Fortier. ”However, the budget for honeymoon travel is still higher than an average vacation.”
The Travel Institute says honeymoons are an $8 billion industry and the average honeymoon costs $3,719 — that’s 300% more than the US vacation average.
