HotelsCombined.com Reports the 20 Most Popular Destinations for Memorial Day Weekend 2010

HotelsCombined.com -- the hotel search engine -- tracked their website's current booking statistics for this year's Memorial Day weekend to determine the 20 most popular travel destinations.

Miami Beach tops the list as the number one destination but also ranks as the most expensive destination in the top 20. For travelers looking for the best value destinations, Anaheim and Los Angeles have the lowest daily rate in the top 20. In addition, Niagara Falls and Orlando offer some great savings opportunities and a broad base of hotels to choose from for families looking for a memorable yet affordable Memorial Day weekend getaway.

According to a recent Gallup Poll, while half of Americans foresee no change in their travel spending in 2010 compared to 2009, 30 percent of respondents plan to spend less in the coming year, particularly relative to air travel and hotel stays. Furthermore, a new survey by Booz & Company confirms that a "new frugality," born of the recent recession and evidenced by two consecutive years of declining per capita consumption, is reshaping U.S. consumer spending patterns in ways that will persist even as the economy starts to recover.

Hotel value is still an important concern for American travelers, and HotelsCombined.com General Manager Michael Doubinski remarks, "Due to the continually increasing number of visitors to our site, we find that travelers are definitely still interested in great hotel deals, which they can find in both budget and luxury categories at HotelsCombined.com." Doubinski adds, "Overall, HotelsCombined.com is an excellent resource for determining the average daily rate and the fluctuations of that rate for any destination or specific hotel, during any time period, in any city in the world."
