Travelers are increasingly opting to skip Europe’s most-visited cities and beachside locales in favor of less-frequented destinations for summer vacations this year. Fresh data shared with Bloomberg by Chase Travel shows that cities with the biggest year-on-year tourism increases this summer include such off-the-beaten-track destinations as Brussels, Munich, Zurich and Warsaw.

In the last two-plus years, two items have exerted an especially big impact: the monthly consumer price index, and meetings of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy committee. And both will happen on June 12, in an uncommon kink in the calendar.The CPI, which measures inflation, has the ability to move mortgage rates all by itself.
