El Paso On List of Affordable Holiday Travel Destinations

Holiday travel can sometimes be a real pain in the you-know-what.

With rising costs and flight delays, it can be hard to plan a holiday vacation- especially if you have a big family! Luckily, SmartAsset has compiled a list of most affordable travel destinations for the 2022 season.

According to SmartAsset:

To determine the most affordable travel destinations, we looked at 35 of the largest cities in the country and calculated costs for a three-day trip considering hotels, rental cars, air travel and meals. We ranked each city based on the total cost for a family of four. To provide more context, we also calculated costs for an individual traveler.

What they found was that southern cities topped half of the top ten cities, and if a trip to the Sun City was on your "maybe" list, well get ready to change it to "yes!"
