Despite economic challenges, U.S. consumers define vacation as “essential” - Seite 2

Compare, compare, compare
As consumers change spending habits, they are becoming smarter about how they spend their money. In fact, a majority indicated they compare hotel prices through different comparison websites (96%). Of these, over three-fifths (61%) have compared prices more over the last 12 months than in previous years.
When deciding where to travel, 61% consider hotel location to be one of the most important factors, followed by value for money (58%). In fact, if a lower-standard hotel had positive customer reviews, 80% would be more likely to stay there. 

To further increase savings, trivago recommends the following tips to get the most bang for your buck:

• Watch out for last-minute deals - For short trips and longer holidays alike, watch out for last-minute deals. When closer to the arrival date (less than a week), the stay can be cheaper! Hotel prices are higher when booking too far in advance
• Stay flexible - Try to travel during the off season or stay in alternative destinations just outside of main touristic cities
• Avoid hump day - You’ll pay a higher price when booking your stay on Wednesdays, whereas booking on Sundays can help save a few bucks
• Compare, Compare, Compare - Be sure to compare deals using metasearch engines like trivago to compare prices and find the best offer for you
