DALLAS—Many Americans on both sides of the political divide grumble about leaving the country if their presidential candidate loses, and the travel experts at Hotels.com can help guests decide where to go. Whatever your choice of alternative destination may be, Hotels.com has made the decision easier by pairing four American cities with counterparts around the world where you’ll feel most at home.
For some, the threat of leaving America is all talk, but Hotels.com data reveals that many Americans have begun taking action by searching for respite abroad. Following the debate on October 19th, searches for foreign destinations increased, with significant interest in cities within Mexico, Canada, and Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). EMEA, in particular, has become an even more desirable location for American travelers due to Brexit and the impact this decision has had on exchange rates. Whether you’re hoping to cross the border or an ocean, these cities are the perfect alternatives for Americans seeking an escape abroad.
“As the election draws nears and Americans look abroad for some political relief, Hotels.com wants to make it easier to choose international destinations that can provide a sense of comfort,” says Josh Belkin, vice president & General Manger for Hotels.com North America. “Whether you’ve said in jest that you’re leaving the country or simply need a getaway, Hotels.com has travel deals all over the map.”
