The road trip continues to be one of the most popular vacations these days. It comes as no surprise as flights continue to be disrupted and regulations on various types of travel continue to change.

Vacation rental company Vrbo has released data on bookings and holidays that reveals many Americans continue to book properties close to home.

"We first saw families turn to road trips early in the pandemic when air travel was unpredictable. As COVID-19 continues to throw curveballs our way, many families are choosing to drive to their vacation destinations and visit vacation spots that are close to home," said Alison Kwong, Vrbo spokesperson. "From every major region of the country, travelers can find a popular vacation destination within 300 miles on Vrbo, which is about a three- to four-hour car ride."

Vrbo's findings also showed that demand for emerging destinations, including Cincinnati, Ohio; Yorktown, Virginia; Niagara Falls, New York; and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, doubled year-over-year and the destinations are within driving distance of major metro areas in the Northeast and the Midwest.

The top drive destinations from some of the country's major metropolitan areas include:

-Hamptons, New York (100 miles)

-Jersey Shore, New Jersey (85 miles)
