Top 10 Egg-cellent Destinations That Canadian Travellers Are Hopping Off To This Easter
Canadians' Most Booked Destinations for the Long Weekend Include Big Cities Across North America
SAN FRANCISCO, March 19, 2012 /CNW/ - Hotwire.com®, a leading discount travel site, today announced the top 10 most popular Easter destinations for Canadian travellers, based on hotel bookings. With many Canadians enjoying a long holiday weekend for Easter, it is an ideal time to pack up some Easter traditions into a basket full of getaway fun instead. This year, many people seem to agree, and it appears that the bright lights and hustle and bustle of the big city are attracting the most attention.
"As Easter approaches, many of us are looking forward to traditional Easter celebrations, but we're also looking forward to the four-day weekend and squeezing in another trip this year," said Pierre-Etienne Chartier, Vice President, Operations of the Hotwire Group. "Luckily, since business travel tends to slow down for many big cities over the holiday, these destinations are currently offering some fantastic deals. And travellers seem to be taking advantage of these low rates by planning visits to some of the world's most popular locales."
