The insurer reviewed more than 40,000 travel itineraries of members to determine emerging travel trends this autumn

International Medical Group (IMG) has conducted a review of customers’ travel plans from 1 September – 30 November and predicts this autumn’s top 10 international destinations for US travellers to be:

  1. Mexico
  2. Aruba
  3. Italy
  4. Dominican Republic
  5. Bahamas
  6. Canada
  7. Jamaica
  8. France
  9. UK
  10. Spain.

According to its data, those planning to travel this autumn will be taking trips averaging nine days in length, with a 2% increase in the average insured trip cost for IMG travellers this autumn compared with the same period in 2023.

“Year after year, we see destinations such as Mexico and Aruba at the top of the list, but it’s exciting to see new countries join the top 10 this year, such as France,” said Justin Poehler, IMG Chief Commercial Officer. “As people are planning their autumn trips, factors such as the recent Summer Olympics or even the popular Netflix series ‘Emily in Paris’ could be influencing more people to consider travelling to France.”
