Most travelled to cities are from CAPA and a few other websites that reported individual numbers.

The correlation between cities with large Jewish populations and where Israelis travel was inferred by myself, as all of the top 9 cities (except Orlando due to tourism) visited by Israelis rank in the top 10 among US cities' Jewish populations. (Top cities in no particular order: NYC, LA, Chicago, Philly, DC/Baltimore, Miami, Boston, San Fran, Orlando). Now this could be coincidence, since large cities tend to have big Jewish populations, or it could be because the Israelis visiting relatives gives the cities an extra bump in traffic.
