It turns out that travel to the U.S. from Canada is something that Canadians are desperately searching for right now and there are six spots south of the border that are the most in-demand.

New data from travel search engine KAYAK show that the top destinations in the U.S. being searched for by Canadians include Maui, Honolulu, Las Vegas, New York, L.A. and Orlando.

These destinations are not just the most sought-after ones nationwide, but they're also really popular among people in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal.



According to KAYAK, interest in travel by Canadians skyrocketed by 322% on July 19, when it was announced that the Canada-U.S. border would open in August to let in fully vaccinated Americans for non-essential travel. On the other side of the border, searches from the U.S. to Canada spiked by 194% on that day as well.

Even though Canada will be allowing fully vaccinated Americans to enter the country as of August 9, the U.S. recently announced that its land border will stay closed to Canadians until at least August 21.
