The US states are a very popular destination for both national and international tourists! Statistics show that in 2018, international visitors to the United States reached 78 million and that figure is estimated to grow to 89 million by 2022!

There are many reasons why people travel to the U.S. that you may not automatically think of if you live here. Some travel for business or to tour its major attractions which include Disneyland Parks, Hollywood, Las Vegas casinos, National Parks, etc.

If you’re traveling to the United States or are planning a trip here I can guarantee you’ll not be disappointed by what this country has to offer! 

For international travelers, to gain entry into the country you’ll need a valid passport, a US visa and you might have to fill an EVUS enrollment form that determines your eligibility to travel to the US.

But don’t worry, that’s not the hard part! The hard part is deciding where to go! Being a large country with 50 states and over 300 million people, deciding what and where to go during your trip can be overwhelming. But don’t worry, I will make it easier for you to plan your trip!

New York

Everybody wants to go to New York. The Big Apple has been featured in tons of movies, and is a must visit city otherwise your trip to America would be incomplete. 

In New York City, you can visit the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Empire State Building, Wall Street, United Nations Headquarters, the new World Trade Center, and Times Square. You can also visit Broadway or go for a music concert; there are many held in the city by famous musicians, or wine and dine at five-star restaurants around the city.

Niagara Falls — three massive waterfalls in Buffalo, New York should be in your itinerary when you’re in this American city as well. The falls receive over 14 million visitors annually making them one of the world’s most visited tourist’s attractions!

The Corning Museum of Glass in Finger Lakes is also located in New York, and is actually one of the top visited destinations by Asian tourists in the U.S.!

Washington D.C

Washington D.C. is the capital city of the US and where you will find the White House, where the U.S. president lives (when he’s not at his penthouse in New York or mansion in Palm Beach).  You can take photos outside the White House, or schedule a tour inside of it, which will surely make your trip memorable. 

To learn more about American history you can also visit the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, and The National Archives. A trip to Capitol Hill, the home of the U.S Congress will also be worth your time.

Florida

If you’re looking to have the perfect beach holiday in the U.S. then head over to Florida. The Sunshine State has year-round warm weather, amazing beaches and tons of outdoor activities you can enjoy. 

In 2018 Florida was voted the number one place where US travelers would love to spend their summer. That shows you how awesome this state is! If you decide to make a trip to Florida, here are some places you can visit for some R&R:

• New Smyrna Beach. The sunsets in this city are intense. During the day you can swim and surf at the beach or play some beach volleyball. If you’re into art there are a number of art galleries you can visit. 
• Key West. Happy hour at this island starts at 3p.m, this goes to show you how laid back the place is! I recommend you visit the Key West Aquarium where you can feed sharks and enjoy marine life displays. 
• Amelia Island. Apart from just chilling on the pristine beaches, you can try kayaking or play a couple of rounds of golf. The island also has amazing seafood which you can enjoy while taking a sunset boat cruise. 
• Palm Beach Island. Home to the rich, famous, and legendary, but also accessible to tourists wanting a truly posh and fabulous American experience. Recognizable figures like the Kennedy’s, Audrey Hepburn, the Pulitzer’s, and even Donald Trump have had homes on the island, and it’s where you’ll find Worth Avenue, which is the equivalent of Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.

Hawaii

This is another wonderful U.S destination to take a beach holiday! The state has over 100 islands but only seven are inhabited. Some of the Hawaii islands include Hawaii, which is the biggest, Maui, Kauai, Molokai, Lanai, Niihau and Kahoolawe.

The weather in Hawaii is beautiful all year round so you can plan a trip there at any time. Activities you can indulge in when on holiday in Hawaii include whale watching, surfing, touring volcanic sites and sunbathing at the beach. There’s also some of the most stunning hikes to do, including the famous Stairway to Heaven.

Hawaii is also the place where the 44th President of the United States Barrack Obama was born. So when you visit the island you can get to see where he grew up!
