The survey respondents answered questions about their willingness to change up their vacation patterns. 78% said they’re likely to take a chance on visiting an entirely new destination. And nearly three in four agreed that those who aren’t willing to try somewhere new are missing out since vacations are a chance to do things outside of your comfort zone.

We also found that of the 62% of people who have visited somewhere they didn’t think they would enjoy, 89% ended up being pleasantly surprised.

When asked about the the most “underrated” states they’d like to visit, these came out top:
West Virginia (37%)
Rhode Island (31%)
Massachusetts (31%)
Mississippi (30%)
Delaware (27%)

And the "underrated" U.S. holiday spots they'd most like to visit were:
Savannah, Georgia (35%)
St. Petersburg, Florida (33%)
Harpers Ferry, West Virginia (32%)
Mendenhall Glacier, Alaska (31%)
Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York (30%)

By examining geographical splits, the data revealed that Northeastern respondents are the most likely to enjoy adventurous activities on vacation, while midwesterners have a preference for making the most of their hotel/resort.

And when we compared the habits of different generations, millennials lead the respondents who usually create a detailed itinerary for their vacations, but most confessed that doing so limits what you can do with your time.
