BASIC INFO

Introduction

The USA is the third most popular destination in the world, with over 45 million people travelling to the country every year. They’ve got good reason, too – few other places offer such a wide variety of activities, geographical diversity and rich, if brief, history.

America’s major cities buzz with energy and excitement, from cosmopolitan New York City, historic Boston, glamorous Los Angeles and gritty Chicago to extrovert Las Vegas and sultry New Orleans.

Venture out of the urban centres and you’ll find backwater gems full of small-town charm, tucked between miles and miles of open highway and spectacular scenery.

The landscape changes with dizzying speed, from the vast deserts of Nevada to soaring snow-topped mountains, lush forests and white-sand beaches.

America is one of the easiest places to travel, whatever your plans. With fantastic transport services and a multitude of resources for tourists, visitors are never far away from high quality and reasonably priced accommodation, or somewhere decent to grab a bite.
