If you’re trying to figure out where to book your big vacation for later this year, you might want to consider Key Largo, Fla., according to one report.

Key Largo took the top spot on the 25 Trending Destinations list for the U.S. TripAdvisor also found the top 25 trending travel spots around the world.
However, the Emerging Destinations list only included 25 locations around the world, with Kaliningrad, Russia, at the top of the list.
