Pennsylvanians might choke on their cheesesteak for this one… If you thought Philadelphia was Pennsylvania’s most timeless city, think again.

Is it Ireland? Is it the UK? We’ll let you decide. But there’s no doubt this city on the rise is going beyond its “football town” (ahem, soccer) reputation as a new travel hotspot. Formerly holding a persona of being rough around the edges with high crime and political uproars, nowadays it’s become one of …

No matter the context, one million people anywhere is hard to fathom. Well, that’s how many people flew into one forgotten beach city in just one month’s time — and the shortest month of the year, at that.

Beaches and pickleball courts will soon be jam-packed across Florida, but it’s not just Miami and the cluster of sunny paradises surrounding Tampa that have become vacation hotspots.

You know it’s a win when a country is all but forced to admit defeat. The Tico Times, arguably Costa Rica’s most trusted news source, is giving the crown to a next-door neighbor as Central America’s new tourism hotspot.
