The Bahamas Is the Caribbean’s Top Summer Destination for Americans
Summer travel is surging — and Americans are heading south.
70 percent of Americans say they are taking a vacation this summer, and if it’s the Caribbean, it’s increasingly looking like The Bahamas.
New data from Squaremouth, the country’s largest travel insurance comparison site, shows a notable rise in summer travelers, with one Caribbean destination standing out: The Bahamas.
The archipelago has officially cracked the top 10 most popular destinations for summer 2025, jumping four spots from last year to rank eighth overall — and claiming the highest position among Caribbean locales.
While the United States and Canada hold the top two spots, The Bahamas leads the regional charge for international getaways, outpacing traditional European hotspots like Greece and Iceland.
The data reflects travel insurance purchases for thousands of upcoming trips, offering a real-time snapshot of where travelers are heading — and what’s motivating their choices.
Squaremouth’s report notes that proximity has become a defining factor for many vacationers this year.
With international travel rebounding, destinations like Mexico, Canada, and The Bahamas are increasingly attractive alternatives to longer-haul options
