With Covid variants declining, and governments across the world loosening restrictions, many are hopeful that this is the year travel makes a comeback.

All travel operators have reported a significant increase in bookings for the summer season and the World Travel & Tourism Council (W.T.T.C), (which represents the global travel and tourism industry), predicts that travel and tourism in the United States will reach pre-pandemic levels in 2022, contributing nearly $2 trillion to the U.S. economy.

We know that Covid isn’t going away overnight, but many are shifting their approach and accepting that Covid-19 is almost a manageable part of everyday life. However, pandemic anxiety may still be very prevalent for some, yet traveling is very enticing.

Some tourists might decide to book out of season, but search trends reveal that searches for the “quietest beaches in the USA” and “the best” and quietest” times to visit top tourist destinations in the US are rising.

So, to help those dipping their toes back into travel who want to visit these attractions without the hustle and bustle of a crowd, Booking.com has analyzed footfall data for each US state’s most popular attractions to pinpoint the least busiest days and times to visit.
