holiday destination

Where travelers go

A holiday destination is a place people travel to for vacation—beaches, mountains, historic cities, or resorts marketed to tourists.

The term is more common in British English, where holiday means vacation: Thailand has become a popular holiday destination.

American English prefers vacation spot or travel destination.
