'Love Island USA' Finale Suddenly Has Fans Seeking Out This Tropical Getaway
Season 8 of TV's buzziest reality show is finally in the books, with Trinity Tatum and Bryce Dettloff crowned its winners during last night's finale.
The pair, who came to be known as "Brinity," had been coupled since day 1 of the season and since took home $100,000 to split between them.
As devoted fans are aware, the series is filmed at the picturesque Mamanuca Islands of Fiji, which can inspire one to start planning their own tropical getaway.
In fact, that's just what fans are doing, according to new data from Priceline. The city of Nadi, which is Fiji's main international getaway (and located roughly 11-35 miles away from the Mamanuca Islands) is seeing a notable increase in traveler interest for August, according to the online travel agency. More specifically:
- Flight searches to Nadi, Fiji are up 82% based on the biggest year-over-year increases in international roundtrip flight searches for August 1–31.
- Hotel searches in Nadi, Fiji are up 35% based on the biggest year-over-year increases in international hotel searches for August 1–31.
"As Love Island reaches its finale, it's a timely example of how pop culture can shape travel inspiration," Christina Bennett, consumer travel trends expert at Priceline, said in a statement shared with Parade. "After weeks of watching Fiji's beaches, resorts and scenery, viewers may begin imagining a trip of their own... By giving audiences an immersive look at a destination, shows like Love Island can inspire travelers to start exploring how to experience it for themselves."
Meanwhile, fans are eager for more Love Island USA - and luckily, there will be a season 8 reunion. Host Ariana Madix announced it when the finale came to an end on Sunday, July 12. As the reunion has not been filmed yet, there is no official announcement of which cast members will return. Let the waiting begin...
