Additionally, many hotels and airlines offer discounted rates during May, allowing travelers to explore destinations that may be out of reach during the high season.<\/p>\n<p>May allows beach enthusiasts to soak up the sun and sand without the intense summer heat. The beaches are also less crowded, making it the perfect time to indulge in outdoor activities like swimming, snorkeling and surfing. This month marks celebrations and festivals worldwide, too, such as the Kentucky Derby, so travelers can immerse themselves in new cultures and explore local customs and traditions.<\/p>\n<p>So, where should you travel?
