TripAdvisor has assembled a list of ten destinations for United States travelers looking for good value in their vacations as part of its 2017 Hotel Pricing Report. The list takes into account the country’s average hotel rate and year-on-year price decrease.
The list contains countries that, due to their economic climate, are unsurprisingly good value, such as Turkey, as well as those known for low accommodation prices like Vietnam and the Philippines. A few unexpected entrants include Taiwan, for which TripAdvisor calculated an average hotel rate of $138, a 12 percent year-on-year drop, and the United Arab Emirates. The Caribbean was also recommended as a good value destination, despite its average hotel price being the highest on the list, at $442.
