Summers always seem to come and go so quickly, but don’t let this one pass without getting a vacation on the books for your clients. While traveling to far-off international destinations almost always sounds appealing, sometimes the best places for a last-minute summer trip are domestic hotspots.

Turn your clients’ summer vacation dreams into a reality with one of Travel + Leisure GO’s unique, curated itineraries. This year, New York, Chicago and Las Vegas are at the top of travelers’ wish lists, and the tour operator has action-packed itineraries for each of these cities as well as suggested accommodations.  

Exhilarating New York City

It’s the city that never sleeps, and it’s a fan favorite among travelers this year. From something as simple as devouring a true New York-style bagel to start the day or as extravagant as seeing a favorite Broadway show followed by a night out on the town, New York City can catch the attention of every traveler.

For many visitors, New York is a long weekend vacation, but why not book your clients on a five-day itinerary? They’ll be able to stroll through Central Park at a leisurely pace, reflect at the 9/11 Memorial and check several museums off their bucket lists. Food tours, musicals, bar crawls, fine dining, incredible views – it’s all available during a trip to The Big Apple.

Sophisticated Chicago

With 77 unique neighborhoods, there’s never a dull moment during a stay in Chicago. Many travelers visit the Windy City for the incredible shopping and picturesque architecture, and they enjoy several other attractions along the way including visits to Navy Pier, Millennium Park, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Lincoln Park Zoo.

Whether they’re sports fans or not, you can encourage your clients to catch a baseball game or a concert at Wrigley Field while they’re in town, and no Chicago vacation is complete without enjoying a slice or two of the classic deep dish pizza.

Scintillating Las Vegas

Long days at the pool and even longer evenings immersed in the nightlife is usually what a summer vacation in Las Vegas looks like. Travelers can enjoy all the dining at celebrity chef restaurants and award-winning entertainment they’d like during a stay in Sin City.

While eating, drinking and gambling might be what first comes to mind, there are several other activities to do in Las Vegas. For a well-rounded vacation, suggest that your clients take a cooking class, visit the Grand Canyon or play a round of golf.
