A recent poll of travel counselors finds that New York City, Cancun and Nassau Bahamas are among the most popular North American destinations for U.S. travelers this holiday season. The counselors also say that customers are spending significantly more than last year on their trips, and the majority are bringing along the family. The poll allowed the counselors to list numerous destinations as their top choices. Some 47 percent of the nearly 200 counselors polled said New York is a top U.S. destination. Honolulu was rated by 44 percent, while 33 percent named Miami and just over 28 percent said the same about Las Vegas. Nearly half (48 percent) named Cancun and 37 percent cited Nassau, Bahamas. Over one-third (34 percent) said London was among their customers' top choices, and about 30 percent cited Paris as a client favorite.
