Here is the most affordable travel destination in the US this summer — but would you go there?

Can’t afford to travel to Paris this summer for the Olympics? That’s fine — you can go to a place where the Olympics were held nearly 30 years ago instead.
A new ranking of the most affordable summer travel destinations in the United States has awarded the top spot to Atlanta — home to the 1996 Summer Games and a place most vacationers know as a layover spot on their way somewhere else.
Analysts from WalletHub named Coca-Cola’s hometown the most accessible for those lacking money to burn during the hottest months, beating out sweltering Washington D.C. and theme park-filled Orlando.
“The Atlanta metro area is the best summer travel destination, in part because the cheapest flights from major cities don’t require any connections and can cost as little as $278,” the report reads.
Researchers referred to a alleged abundance of activities, attractions and good weather to explain their decision.
So — what exactly does one do, in or out of the Perimeter, on a summer vacation?
