"The Labor Day holiday can be a great time to visit major U.S. cities," said Gabe Saglie, Senior Editor at Travelzoo. "Hotel prices in major cities tend to rise in the fall mainly because of the increase in business travel and conventions. For leisure travelers, the Labor Day holiday is great opportunity to snag a great city hotel deal before prices increase. Back-to-school preparations tend to occupy many families at this time. As a result, we're also seeing great deals to theme park destinations, perfect for the flexible family looking for one last summer getaway. Fall is already a great time to get a good cruise deal, and surprisingly we've found deals available over exact Labor Day dates."
