There is an indicator that never fails to know the tourist interest of a destination: Google. The more searches, the more trips. And Google, crossing data, has reported that Europe has become the preferred destination of Americans, who are massively taking out or renewing their passports to travel.
Remember, no one gets a passport in person, and no one knows the address where it is obtained: for this, everyone enters Google, which obtains this information. Google also knows what they are looking for. And these are the preferred destinations, in order: Paris, London, Rome, Athens and Lisbon. Google, which is not surprised at all because it has experience in these things, has nevertheless said that searches are “shocking” compared to other years. In 2021, for example, among the most searched cities there was only one non-American: Cancun, which is as if it were.
The same data from the number one search engine indicates that the appointments to obtain or renew the passport increased by 300 percent in these first three months of the year, clearly pointing to an increase in trips abroad. Likewise, the search for luxury hotels has doubled compared to what was searched for in 2019. Google also detects those searches for “girls travel destinations” increase three times. For singles 200 percent and something similar happens with cruises.
