Hotwire Introduces Hotel Rate Report
Monthly Report Highlights Best Destinations for Hotwire Hotel Deals in the U.S. and Canada
MARCH 23, 2009 - Hotwire.com(R), a leading discount travel site, today announced the introduction of the site's latest tool to save customers money: The Hotwire Hotel Rate Report. The report will be published monthly, and will feature the top 10 cities with the largest reductions in hotel price. And these price drops, when combined with Hotwire's already discounted prices, will help guide customers to the destinations that will maximize their travel dollars.
The Hotwire Hotel Rate Report provides up-to-date information on which U.S. and Canadian cities have the best hotel deals. To compile the report, Hotwire looks at a wide range of the top markets, compares pricing trends from the previous year, and factors in month-by-month price fluctuations. The report then highlights the destinations that have the biggest hotel price drops each month.
"Due to the current state of the economy, travelers are watching every penny more closely, and we can help," said Clem Bason, president, Hotwire Group. "The Hotwire Hotel Rate Report is part of our commitment to provide the tools that customers need to find the best and most discounted travel deals available."
Hotwire's deals this month show that hotels in some of the most popular, warm-weather winter destinations, such as Las Vegas and Orlando have come down the most in price when compared to March of 2008. But even year-round mainstays like New York City are also experiencing big price drops, while the biggest Canadian cities appear to be in a similar hotel situation as in the U.S.
