INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — [IMG](https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4760087-1&h=3998857019&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.imglobal.com%2F&a=IMG)(
International Medical Group) has conducted a review of customer travel plans from
the beginning of September to the end of November and reveals the top five international
destinations for U.S. travelers this autumn to be:

 1. Mexico
 2. Italy
 3. Canada
 4. Bahamas
 5. United Kingdom

Mexico remains the top destination for IMG travelers for the fourth consecutive 
year, while the Bahamas moved into IMG’s top five destinations this autumn, replacing
Spain from 2025.

IMG data also shows that travelers continue to invest more in their trips. The average
insured trip cost for autumn 2026 increased by nearly 6% compared to the same period
in 2025. Travel demand remains strong, with IMG seeing a 15% increase in travelers
purchasing policies for autumn trips.

"Our autumn travel data reflects continued confidence among international travelers,"
said Grant Hayes, Global Head of Travel for IMG. "Travelers are planning more trips
and spending more on their travel experiences, while continuing to prioritize destinations
that offer a mix of cultural experiences and relaxation."

The data also points to continued interest in international travel among older adults
this autumn. Nearly half of all travelers reviewed in this analysis are age 65 and
older, and 15% of travelers are age 75+.

"International travel continues to resonate across generations, particularly among
retirees who have both the time and flexibility to explore the world," said Justin
Poehler, IMG Chief Commercial Officer. "As more travelers invest in meaningful travel
experiences, having the right protection and support remains an important part of
trip planning."
