“One of the most ethnically diverse states, Hawaii, draws people into its rich culture and invites visitors to share its endless summer and laid-back tropical vibe. With breathtaking scenery at every turn, opting for the scenic route rewards travelers with untouched natural wonders and brings with it thriving wildlife. For some, Hawaii is a slice of paradise to relax and unwind in, for others, it’s an adventure playground.
“It’s clear to see that Americans tend to flock west, with most eastern states choosing California for their vacations and much of central and western America willing to go further away to the South Pacific islands of Hawaii.
“In a distant third position, New Hampshire is preferred by 6% of the other states. It is, however, popular among its neighbors — Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, who would rather stay closer to home for their domestic travels.”
