Top 10 Travel Destinations of 2013 For Travel Dreamers

Last updated on July 14th, 2013 at 11:08 am

Travel Dream Destinations: Big cities and beaches are most popular

Hotel Mapper has released the top 10 travel destinations for 2013 for travel dreamers. Criteria was based on the overall volume of hotel room nights sold.

Dwight Nash, Chief Technology Officer of Hotel Mapper noted that last year theme parks and all-in-one packages were popular, but this year it’s big cities and beaches.

“Travel is up overall. Based on the first part of 2013, hotel rates are lower than last year and travelers aren’t as concerned about all in one deals. Perhaps it’s a reflection of a rebounding economy. They’re starting to put together their own travel itinerary which generally costs more in the end than packaged hotel deals.”

Cities with some of the lowest rates include Hotels in Los Angeles and New York, followed by San Diego and Hawaii Hotels.

Compared with last year’s data, Hawaii Hotels nearly tripled between January and March which is high season for the main island of Oahu, HI. Hotel Mapper data shows the hotel industry has dropped rates overall, and travelers have responded favorably. Could this be a sign of a rebounding economy? The travel industry would like to think so.
