After all the stress of the wedding, it’s finally time for you and your partner to get some R&R on your honeymoon! Depending on what type of couple you are, that could mean anything from lying on a white sandy beach and never moving, or trekking to Machu Picchu. According to recent data, however, couples who are keen on multi-destination trips are trending when it comes to post-wedding vacays.

Expedia has found that 18% of couples want to visit more than one destination during their honeymoon, while a whopping 83% are actually planning multiple honeymoons!

The travel company conducted the survey following the COVID-19 pandemic, in light of several countries once again welcoming tourists. With 97% of newlyweds forced to cancel their trips over the last two years, 53% have planned to spend more on their vacation than they had originally budgeted. 

When it came to destinations, old classics claimed the top spot. 

48% of respondents said they wanted to visit museums, art galleries, and shows, while 42% prioritized restaurants, bars, and clubs. 

Paris proved to be the third-most popular, retaining its reputation as a city for lovers. The cosmopolitan shopping haven that is Dubai came second, while the number one spot was awarded to the United Kingdom.
