This year, summer travelers are including some new cities to their must-visit lists. The CCRA Travel Commerce Network announced top 10 domestic and international summer travel trends and destinations, based on  agent bookings made through their website.

New American cities on the list include Traverse City, Mich. which was recently named as an “up-and-coming food city” by Conde Nast Traveler and one of the “Must-See American Cities by Horizon Travel Magazine. Atlanta and Chicago also jumped up on the list.

International travel welcomes five new additions, including Edinburg, Florence, Grindelwald and Munich. CCRA Travel attributes their trending to an increased attendance of world-renowned festivals and art-related events. The Edinburgh Art Festival is the U.K.’s largest annual gathering of visual art. Grindelwald also hosts an outdoor festival of sculptures and other natural displays. Munich holds an internationally-acclaimed film festival during the summer months, and Florence comes to life during an annual flower display that colors the main city square.
