Orlando top summer travel spot

Sunday, 03 May, 2011 0

Orlando is the most popular summer travel spot for 2011, according to bookings on travel site Orbitz.com.
 

It was the only Florida city to make the top 10 list this year. Among the reasons cited for its high ranking:
 

• Average airfare to Orlando this summer is US$290, an increase of 10 percent over last year but still the lowest average fare for any of the cities in the top 10.
 

• Orlando hotel rooms are averaging about $94 per night, an increase of 12 percent over last year but the second lowest of the cities in the top 10.
 

Other cities in the top ten included: Las Vegas, Seattle, Los Angeles, Denver, New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Cancun and Boston.
 

Other findings from the Orbitz Summer Travel Index 2011 found that average airfare has risen to all the top cities.
