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

The major blockbuster hit of the Hollywood film, Black Panther, has intrigued people all over the world regarding the existence of Wakanda. Thus, a Wakanda Park in Wisconsin was built to satisfy the fans in their desperate search of the hidden kingdom.

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.
