Travel Planning on a Budget
A new tool from CheapTickets helps travelers plan their next getaway no matter their budget. With Vacation Value Finder, users input the price they want to pay and top trip preferences, such as locales that are hot or cold, family friendly or romantic, relaxing or active. The tool matches travelers with bookable itineraries from a database of 100+ popular destinations and provides helpful information such as weather forecasts, activity recommendations and area attractions. Travelers who book a trip using the tool when it launches on January 14 through January 30, 2019 will be entered into a sweepstakes where two winners will be reimbursed for their trip up to $2,500.
