Autumn 2025 Travel Trends: UK and Mexico Top the List
UK, Mexico, Italy, Canada, and Spain have emerged as the top travel destinations for U.S. travelers this autumn 2025, according to a new report by IMG (International Medical Group). The analysis reveals that travelers are investing significantly more in their journeys, with a 13% increase in average trip costs compared to autumn 2024.
Perhaps most notably, U.S. travelers are extending their stays abroad, with the typical trip now averaging 11 days in length – two days longer than the 2024 autumn average. Mexico maintains its position as the most popular international destination for U.S. travelers for the third consecutive year, while Italy continues to attract visitors with its cultural heritage and exceptional cuisine.
Travel protection plans are being purchased at record rates, with many travelers prioritizing security and peace of mind for their autumn journeys. The data reflects a growing trend toward longer, more substantial vacations as Americans increasingly prioritize meaningful travel experiences.
