SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24, 2012 /CNW/ - Hotwire.com®, a leading discount travel site, today announced the 10 most popular destinations for Canadian travellers over Family Day 2012, based on hotel bookings.

And trip seekers are in luck as plenty of popular destinations are offering some great deals on Hotwire® during this time of year.
