KAYAK adds Explore Feature to Help Travelers Find Cheapest Destinations For Catching Z's
Ahead of World Sleep Day, KAYAK is launching a guide to the world's best sleepcation destinations, based on factors such as air quality, noise pollution, proximity to nature, safety and spa availability. With nearly 3 out of 4 of Americans saying they need a vacation this year more than ever, here are the top spots in the world to catch some Z's:
Split, Croatia (think pristine coastlines so beautiful you may think you're already dreaming)Canmore, Canada (think fresh mountain air that will lull you to sleep after a day of hiking in nearbyBanff National Park )Andorra la Vella, Andorra (think valley views with literal sheep you can count on your way to a deep sleep)
Looking stateside, here are the top
Leavenworth, Washington (this quaint Bavarian mountain town, like that of a far-off land, is what dreams are made of)Mammoth Lakes, California (with geothermal features and natural beauty, the sandman will see you now)Pigeon Forge, Tennessee (whether enjoying the Great Smokey Mountains or Dollywood, you'll be singing 'Light of a Clear Blue Morning' after a great night's sleep)
"KAYAK's study highlights a growing shift in the way we think about travel. Rest and relaxation are no longer afterthoughts but are becoming the main event," said Dr. Angela Holliday-Bell, sleep specialist, coach and speaker. "By choosing destinations designed for restorative sleep, travelers can reset their sleep patterns, reduce stress, and return home feeling truly refreshed, which is an experience that they are unlikely to get otherwise."
In addition to the guide, KAYAK has also launched a brand new "Sleepcation" filter on KAYAK Explore to help travelers easily discover the most sleep-friendly destinations that they can fly to from their origin airport for the cheapest price. Simply select the "Sleepcations" option under 'Type of Trip' to see where you can fly for the lowest $$ but highest Zzz's.
"From economic uncertainty to political tensions and the grind of overwork and sleep deprivation, it's clear that people are turning to their vacations as a much-needed opportunity to recharge," said Kayla Inserra DeLoache, KAYAK consumer travel trends expert. "With reduced stress being a top reason Americans report better sleep on vacation, our guide highlights the best destinations for genuine rest and relaxation."
