The Popular Vacation Spot the Year You Were Born

In most countries, summertime almost always means vacations, and every year, a new destination is crowned the best. One year it's the blue lagoons of Malta and the next year it could be the ever-so romantic city streets of Paris. Have you ever wondered what type of trip was popular the year you were born? It may surprise you, but some locations that are popular today were even more famous in the '50s and '60s. Traveling back then sure looked different, and anything from the Monaco Grand Prix to the World's Fair determined your next voyage.

A-list stars like Marilyn Monroe and Marlon Brando gained a reputation for traveling to places and making it the top destination of that year. Other times, it would be something like the opening of Disneyland that would decide your next holiday. In the 2000s, travel influencers took the reign of "determining" what's a cool destination and places like the Amalfi Coast, Marrakech, and Isla Holbox were at the top of everyone's bucket list. Nowadays, the idea of traveling is scaled back in more ways than one, but don't let that stop you from using this list for inspirational trip ideas. Things are complicated right now, but we're more than confident everything will get better. 2021 is right around the corner and who knows what will be the next popular destination. At this point, we're happy with just driving down the street. We've rounded up the most popular vacations by year, so find your birthday and start planning your post-COVID getaway.
