Where US Travelers are headed in 2011? The forecast for 2011 says that 74 percent of respondents will take a vacation this year only if they find a good deal. Acctourism.com Reports the Top Ten Cities for US Travellers.
 
March 19, 2011 - PRLog -- With US leisure and business travellers factoring in value and price for their travel plans at the start of 2011, acctourism.com names the top ten domestic destinations for US travellers.

Top 10 Travel Domestic Destinations for US travellers are: New York City, Las Vegas, Miami Beach, Orlando, New Orleans, Miami, San Francisco, Chicago, Honolulu and Los Angeles.  

Acctourism.com observed that both vacationers and business travellers are taking advantage of competitive deals in the current tourism environment before the industry rebounds: In the first months of 2011 consumers are looking for good deals on hotels and flights that will make their dollar go further.

The economy is still weak and so are hotel rates, but we are tracking consistent increases in pricing. If the economy continues this recovery, bargains will become harder to find, so for travellers on the lookout for cheap rates, the best time to book may in fact be now.

Travellers are the beneficiaries of the 8.8 percent slump in room rates recorded by data firm Smith Travel Research, with the rates drop still presenting great deals for consumers before the northern summer months.

Our observation also correlates with New York City's ranking as the number one destination, indicating that a high average hotel room rate does not deter travellers from visiting this city, which is consistently ranked one of the most popular travel destinations worldwide.

While overall travel spending has recently rebounded as the worldwide economic conditions recover, travellers are still taking advantage of and seeking out competitive deals.

Acctourism.com data demonstrates continued appeal of New York City (http://www.acctourism.com/hotels/new-york-city), the No. 1 US visitor choice, despite its US$180 average rates currently the country’s 2nd highest.

By comparison, second favourite city Las Vegas (http://www.acctourism.com/hotels/las-vegas) is valued at US$110 per night, at US$203, 3rd ranked Miami Beach (http://www.acctourism.com/hotels/miami-beach) will cost visitors the highest average US room bill, while in contrast in 4th place, Orlando currently offers the most attractive hotel rates in the top ten, at a US$90 average.

In 5th rank, New Orleans at an average US$137 and 6th ranked the city of Miami at US$138 is competing on price, as are San Francisco in 7th with US$109 and Chicago, also at US$109. Honolulu’s warm weather will cost visitors an average US$136 nightly; followed by the 10th most popular city of Los Angeles, offering visitors a low average rate of just US$104.

The forecast for 2011 says that 74 percent of respondents will take a vacation this year only if they find a good deal. Despite seeking out competitive deals, Americans expect to travel more in 2011 than in 2010, with 41 percent saying they plan to spend more on leisure travel in 2011 than in 2010.

The number of visitors to acctourism.com continues to increase exponentially, as travellers want the very best hotel deal available at both budget and luxury hotels around the globe.
