Best Destinations by Personality Type:
The lists below show the 30 Best Destinations (15 Best U.S. Destinations and 15 Best International Destinations) for each the six different travel personality types. In addition, we included the overall star ratings for each of the 30 Best Destinations.
These ratings and rankings are based on evaluations by thousands of travelers.
Best Destinations, summarizes evaluations by all visitors on the degree to which they especially like the places they recently visited. Value for the Money, measures the degree to which all visitors feel they got good value for what they paid, not that it is a cheap place to visit. (Note: Most destinations receive better scores on the Great Destination scale than on Value for the Money.)
