Hotwire.com, a leading discount travel site, announced today the top 10 most popular domestic destinations for Canadian travellers booking hotels over Thanksgiving weekend. Though heavily-visited cities like Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal continue to be popular for Canadians looking for a holiday getaway, hotel prices are currently down year over year across the top 50 local markets. So, the experts at Hotwire® suggest taking advantage of the deals to avoid the stress of staying with family this holiday.

"In Canada as well as in the U.S., hotels tend to see great Thanksgiving rates because travellers usually spend the holiday at home or with family," said Henrik Kjellberg, President of the Hotwire Group. "But with deals this good, one can avoid being a burden as a houseguest and commemorate the holiday with a special experience all without breaking the bank."
