(We found this article in Times-Money Magazine and Salt Lake City rates #8 in budget-friendly places to spend a winter or summer vacation)
“What happens when you want to get away, but your New Year’s resolution is to spend less? No problem. There are plenty of destinations—both in the U.S. and internationally—where you can go to enjoy a break while still keeping within budget”.Travel site Kayak has put together a list of the 10 most wallet-friendly destinations for 2018—looking at the 100 most-searched vacation destinations and identifying those with the lowest overall median trip cost (about $900 for a flight and a three-night hotel stay, Kayak notes).While sunny Florida dominates the list (and may certainly be attractive during the cold months of January and February), there are destinations that will work for any type of traveler.
Salt Lake City, Utah
More than just the headquarters of the Mormon Church, Salt Lake City is a great year-round destination for outdoor lovers. The nearby Wasatch mountain range provides both skiing and hiking options—and a trip here costs 25% less than the median vacation spot.
If you are planning to take advantage of the almost dozen ski resorts in the area, check out sites like Liftopia for deals on lift tickets. Passes for Sundance and Snowbird were more than half-off during the first week of January. Meanwhile airfares to Salt Lake City between November and February from the U.S. and Canada are also modestly priced, averaging $314 roundtrip, according to Kayak.
