Caribbean cruising was followed by the Riviera Maya               in Mexico with 51.2 per cent while Cancun in Mexico was third               with 49.3 per cent. Jamaica was ranked 4th and Puerto Vallarta               made a leap into the top five from its 12th position in 2005. The               surge in travel to Puerto Vallarta and the western coast of               Mexico has been attributed to the aftermath of Hurricane Wilma.<\/p>\n<div>\n<ul class=\"c2\">\n<li class=\"c1\"><strong>Top 10 Domestic (US) Destinations: 2006<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>1.
