destinations
Where travelers arrive
Destinations are places where someone or something is going or being sent.
The word implies purposeful travel toward a specific endpoint rather than wandering: We should reach our destination by nightfall.
Tourist destinations are places that attract visitors, while shipping destinations are where packages end up.
Figuratively, destination can suggest a goal or final state: financial independence as a destination.
The phrase destination wedding describes a ceremony held somewhere requiring travel for most guests.
