Macon Named #2 Best Value City in US for 2016
Staff Report From Middle Georgia CEO
Monday, October 5th, 2015
A domestic travel trend is emerging. American travelers are craving small town comfort and charm,
according to trivago.com data. Travel interest to towns with fewer than 50 hotels has been on the
rise throughout 2014 and 2015, as Americans continue to seek out less crowded and more budget-friendly
destinations.

Luckily, whether traveling “small” or merely economically, losing out on quality doesn’t have to be
an issue in the US. As trivago’s Best Value Index shows — calculated using the annual average
price of a standard double room and the city’s average hotel rating — America’s small towns and
mid-sized cities offer the best value for your buck.
