NYC ranked a top destination for solo travelers
NEW YORK (PIX11) -- New York City has been named a top destination for solo travelers in the United States, according to the travel company KAYAK.
KAYAK and OpenTable joined forces to reveal the top destination and create the ultimate travel guide for solo travelers.
“Contrary to popular belief, some things aren’t better when shared (like a motel twin bed). That’s why 50% of Americans plan to travel alone this year,” Kayak said. “While six in 10 will dine as a party of one. For the freewheelers out there, we found the world’s top cities to see solo. Because sometimes your best travel buddy is, well, you.”
The best cities for solo travelers:
- Washington, D.C.
- Boston
- Chicago
- Atlanta
- Salt Lake City
- Tampa
- Philadelphia
- Seattle
- Los Angeles
- New York
Cities were selected based on the number of solo travel searches made on the KAYAK website. Data from an online survey conducted by PureSpectrum, in which major cities were compared, was also used.
