TripAdvisor unveiled TripIndex Cities 2013, the third annual cost
comparison of an evening out and overnight stay for two people in popular
cities around the world.
TripAdvisor TripIndex Cities is tracked against the U.S. dollar and is based on the combined costs for two for a one night stay in a four-star hotel, cocktails, a two-course dinner paired with a bottle of wine, and round-trip taxi transportation. Costs reflect summer rates from June 1 until Aug. 31.
“With travelers’ sights set on summer escapes, TripIndex has identified world class cities where visitors can get the biggest bang for their buck,” said Brooke Ferencsik, director of communications at TripAdvisor. “Although hotel prices are on the rise this summer, travelers looking for deals can find exceptional value for accommodations in popular American destinations such asLas
