Are we becoming more spontaneous in our travel? It appears so! And unique national observances, like next week’s National “Just Because” Day (Monday, August 27th) embrace this spontaneity and even encourage it.
With the end of summer just around the corner, online travel site Hotwire, known for offering deep discounts on last-minute hotel rooms and car rentals by selling unsold inventory from major hotel / car rental brands, is celebrating National Just Because Day, encouraging Americans to not only plan trips to celebrate special occasions, but embrace the power of being spontaneous, treat yourself and book a last minute getaway… just because!
According to Hotwire booking data, the top 10 U.S. destinations people book spontaneously are:
- Dallas
- Atlanta
- Denver
- Austin
- Minneapolis
- New York City
- Fort Lauderdale
- Los Angeles
- Portland
- Houston
*Top destinations are based on transactions for shortest Days To Arrival (day of or day before check-in) last summer.
