What to know before you go

POPULATION
About 340 million people call the United States home and more than three-quarters of them choose to keep their vacations stateside—so you’re in great company.

CULTURAL QUICK TAKE
With its 3.8 million square miles, the U.S.’ vast geography is home to almost as many customs, traditions, unique histories, and local quirks to discover. From the rugged self-sufficiency of the American West to the down-home hospitality of the South, and the enduring spirit of Indigenous communities, you’ll never meet a stranger.

WHAT TO GO FOR
Enormous natural monuments that unfurl to the horizon, the snowcapped Rockies, the untamed Hawaiian coastline, dreamy foliage season in quaint New England towns—we could go on and on. Whatever sets your heart aflame can be found right here.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCES ON TOUR
Float down the Snake River in Wyoming, soar above the Grand Canyon in a helicopter, spot wildlife in Denali National Park in Alaska, and walk through Revolutionary War sites at Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts.
