Wakanda isn’t real, but these places sound pretty close

Hotels.com noticed a noticeable spike in their Menomonie properties. Travel experts also noticed similar scenario in places that sound similar to Wakanda. Wauconda, Illinois, that is pronounced identically to Wakanda, was up more than 25%. Makanda, also in Illinois, was up over 40%. Wakaya, in Fiji, was up over 235% and Wakkanai in Japan enjoyed more than 55% year on year rise.
