I holiday in the US practically every year with my fiance and sometimes twice a year....reason's

1) Language - it is a big positive from us ignorant one language brits to be able to communicate with ye locals and although I am not intimidated by going to non English speaking countries..and regularly do with work unless travelling with a native speaker you can't help but ending up in "tourist spots/establishments" or where whatever guidebook has recommended to attend and with the US don't find that problem

2) As others have mentioned you can have every type of holiday (Beach, Citybreak, Activity, Cultural etc) that the vast majority look for in a holiday

3) Value - not so much the £:$ but the sheer number of flights from the UK to NA compared to Asia/Africa make travelling (especially for the masses in whY - which I count myself in) a desirable option for a holiday destination...and hotels (outside of NY) are generally good value of money for what you get in return (size/service levels etc)


I agree with comments that people should experience all parts of the world if they have the opportunity and personally my other half and I like to visit a new "country" each year as part of our holidays but luckily are able to have multiple breaks each year and the US is somewhere we can't help but return too. ^
