‘Cheapometer’ said to provide travelers with best bargains

Saturday, 01 Aug, 2006 0

CheapTickets.com introduced its Travel Cheapometer, which it says is a new monthly pricing guide that analyzes where vacationers can get the most travel for their money both in the US and abroad.

“The Cheapometer was created to provide our customers with options to help them experience new places around the world at prices that make them feel great,” said Randy Wagner, the company’s chief marketing officer.

The device assesses and compares the cost of hotel rates, airfares, and vacation packages versus the average cost in the US.

The debut CheapTickets device provides an analysis of how the US dollar stacks up in various European cities. The European Hotel Cheapometer calculates the average daily rate of a 4-star hotel room in the US compared to 4-star hotels in European travel destinations.

“A less expensive hotel room is an indicator of how pricey the rest of the country or city might be during your stay,” said Marita Hudson of CheapTickets.com’s Cheap Squad.
