Orbitz Insider Index – Value For Money

Fall is what they call “shoulder season”, the period between the summer & Xmas holiday seasons known for low cost travel & a more relaxed pace at many holiday hot spots. In 2009, the Orbitz Insider Index reviewed average hotel costs in 10 popular shoulder season destinations, identifying which give travelers the most value this fall.

Dublin & Bermuda top the list, offering the highest year-over-year percentage savings. But, thrifty travels should set their sights on a fall holiday to Las Vegas, San Juan, & once again, Dublin, all of which offer average hotel rates under 0 per night.
