Just yesterday, Priceline.com announced its annual list of the 50 most popular destinations for Memorial Day. Topping the list is none other than Chicagos Millennium Park, the Loop, and Grant Park Area.
The list is based on more than 30,000 hotel room booking requests made through Priceline.com for the weekend May 29-31, 2010. It is based on actual booking requests, not polls or voting.
Because areas of a city are logged, rather than the entire city, cities can make the list more than once. In addition to Millennium Park ranking first, Chicagos North Michigan/River North Area ranked second, while the Lincoln Park area came in 19th.
"You can still see the economy reflected in Americans' travel plans for Memorial Day," said Priceline.com's travel expert and blogger Brian Ek. "The big development this year is the large number of cities and towns that are making the list of the top 50 Memorial Day destinations for the first time. The essential to budget travel is to prepare in front. When it happens to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the reality of expense and budgeting is generally in the back of our mind. Organizing and consuming our travel budget properly is a consideration for most families. Reducing consuming and costs, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to confirmed accomplishment and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning behind economizing money while touring is simple: Even if your personal budget is really tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, no matter whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel charge!. This should be very encouraging news for local tourism industries." Destinations making the list for the first time include Providence, RI, Petaluma, CA, Madison, WI, Atlantic City/Cape May, NJ and Princeton, NJ.
