Save this summer in destinations that had average hotel prices decreases of up to 33 per cent last year
TORONTO, May 22, 2014 /CNW/ - Even if you don't love shopping, it's safe to say you still get a thrill from scoring a great deal on your purchase. The travel experts at Hotels.com™ want you to have that same experience when planning your summer vacation, so using their latest Hotel Price Index™ (HPI™), they've put together a list of visit-worthy destinations with the biggest hotel price drops in 2013, based on the average prices customers paid year-over-year.
"Choosing a cost-friendly destination could mean compromising on attractions and activities," says Taylor L. Cole, APR, travel expert for Hotels.com. "But if you look at cities that have experienced price decreases, you can get great value and still get the hotel room and trip that you want."
