Booking.com Presents Thrifty North American Travel Destinations for 2018

NEW YORK, January 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

With 2017 now over, many already have their sights set on where to go in 2018. Booking.com, the global leader in connecting travelers with the widest choice of incredible places to stay, has created a pricing calendar for the coming year, to help travelers of all budgets find the best value-for-money destination for each month of the year.

To form these recommendations, Booking.com first looked at the average price per night of 3, 4 and 5-star accommodations in the most popular global cities. Then, to determine which cities to recommend for which month, they looked at the yearly overview of pricing fluctuations to determine the best weeks to stay in the chosen destinations*.

The result? A perfectly-priced itinerary of places to check off any 2018 travel bucket-list.
