Some facts about international travel.
I'm looking through a report and have the following fun tidbits to share. It's about "overseas" travel, so I'm presuming that it excludes people driving across our borders with our friendly neighbors to the north and south.

There were 28.5 million trips overseas taken by Americans in 2010.

Residents of the state of New York accounted for 19 percent of all trips. If you exclude California, this is about the same amount as all of the states west of the Mississippi combined plus the upper Midwest states of Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin.

Nearly half (47%) of international trips involve staying at a private home. (I interpret this to mean that it's less about vacation and more about visiting family in the home country. Maybe there's another interpretation.)

The median international trip is 11 days, and the mean is 17 days.

84% are visiting 1 country, 11% are visiting 2 countries, and 5% are visiting 3 or more.

The most common points of entry (presumably on return) are New York (22%), Newark (12%), Los Angeles (9%), Miami (7%), and Atlanta (7%). However, the two documents have different figures, with the other one showing departures as follows: New York (18%), Miami (12%), Los Angeles (9%), Atlanta (8%), and Newark (8%) as the largest airports where people leave from. I think the second set of figures is better.

The top ten destinations for overseas travel are (in order): United Kingdom, Dominican Republic (WTF?), France, Italy, Germany, Jamaica (wow), China, Japan, Spain, and India. If you add air trips (not driving) to Canada and Mexico, Mexico is an easy #1 and Canada is an easy #2.

The average expenditure on an overseas trip is $4,327.
