According to the Austin Business Journal, Austin was ranked among the top 20 Memorial Day vacation spots, per the results of a survey from Web booking engine Priceline.com (Nasdaq: PCLN).
The Texas capital took the No. 18 spot, ranked according to a survey of more than 30,000 hotel booking requests for May 29-31. Specifically downtown Austin was cited as the 18th most booked destination.
”You can still see the economy reflected in Americans’ travel plans for Memorial Day,” said priceline.com’s in-house travel expert Brian Ek.
”Higher international airfares have made overseas cities a bit less popular with American travelers this Memorial Day. There are a number of smaller U.S. cities on the list this year, possibly indicating an uptick in driving trips for the long weekend.”
Chicago’s Millennium Park area took the top spot followed by the North Michigan Avenue region of the same city. New York City Times Square District was ranked No. 3, while San Francisco’s Union Square West was No. 4. San Antonio was the only other Texas city on the list, ranking No. 21.
