| This year is holidaymakers in the U.S. are looking for vacations where they don’t need to worry about expensive overseas flights and travel insurance. Family vacation experts at FamilyDestinationsGuide have analyzed the most populated cities in the U.S. to find out which one is the best choice for a vacation. The study looked at the average price of a hotel for a family of four, the number of restaurants in the city and the number of family friendly attractions. They used these factors to create a 10-point scale in order to rank the results. A spokesperson for FamilyDestinationsGuide had this to say about the findings: “Overseas travel is expensive, and since 2019, staycations have seen a 16% increase in searches. The research shows that people in the U.S. are looking more towards home than away for their holidays. “ Places like Miami and Las Vegas are well-known tourist areas, but the findings have highlighted cities like Tulsa, Mesa, and Portland which are rich in culture and attractions, yet receive less tourists, for being vacation hotspots. These cities can provide value for money, with Tulsa’s average hotel price coming in at $531.43. The data also highlights the coastal cities in the U.S. however, inland cities such as Tucson are beginning to rise in popularity. It will be interesting to see if this will result in more footfall and development. |
Methodology
The top 50 cities in the U.S by population were gathered from World Population Review. Using Kayak, the average price for a hotel room for 2 adults and 2 children from a Friday night for 3 nights was calculated.
- The hotels were all 3 stars or higher and rated ‘good’ or better.
- The maximum hotel price was $2500 including fees and local taxes. Then, TripAdvisor totals for restaurants and attractions (using the ‘good for kids’ toggle) were used to calculate a ‘per 100k’ total.
- This was then converted into a ten-point scale in order to give a final score out of 10.
