Paris is no longer
at the top of the most romantic destinations in the world.
In a poll
of 2,000 Americans conducted by Talker Research in partnership with Funjet
Vacations, Maui, Hawaii, is now the top spot.
But the survey
showed that Paris will never lose its fluster.
Here are the top
romantic destinations, according to the poll:
- Maui, Hawaii — 34%
- Paris, France —
33%
- Rome, Italy — 29%
- Venice, Italy —
27%
- Cancun, Mexico —
19%
- Tuscany, Italy —
16%
- Costa Rica — 13%
And most couples
are choosing places where they don’t have to worry about diving into their
pocket all the time.
“Vacationing
together isn’t just about discovering new places; it’s about igniting,
deepening, or rekindling the romance, escaping the ordinary and celebrating the
love that binds you,” said Dana Studebaker, vice president of marketing of
consumer brands at Funjet Vacations. “The beauty of all-inclusive resorts is
that they offer the perfect stress-free escape, removing the hassle of planning
and allowing you to focus entirely on each other.”
The survey also
found that although respondents mentioned larger areas, most said hidden
or smaller destinations are more romantic. They include the British Virgin
Islands, St. Lucia and Santorini, Greece, among others.
And try to mix in
a variety of things to do to ignite that spark.
“When planning
your vacation, I always recommend including activities like yoga, snorkeling,
paddleboarding, cooking classes, hiking, wine tastings and more, as they help
travelers bond in their relationships and offer opportunities to create
in-person connections with new people over a shared interest or new adventure,”
said Michael Lowery, head of global consumer business, Funjet Vacations. “One
of the perks of choosing an all-inclusive resort is that these experiences are
right at your fingertips and come at no extra charge.”
And the romance
travel market is growing.
