Santa Fe, New Mexico
The first thing that should capture your attention when it comes to this destination is that accommodation rates drop. There’s usually a 20 - 40% drop in the rates in the winter, despite it being a ski season. With the low rates, you’d expect traffic, but that isn’t usually the case in New Mexico.
You only have a few families that opt for a vacation here during the winter. Most people tend to come here during the summer – this is when the traffic is high. The restaurants, museums, and other fun stuff remain open throughout the year, though.
The other interesting part about vacationing here is that you get to take part in the Christmas celebration – if you visit during the holiday season. On the 24th of December, the decorations go up and light up this location.
Tahiti and French Polynesia
Another place that you would want to visit during the winter season with your family is Tahiti. Though like Santa Fe, these locations are also quite booming when you choose to visit during the summer. During the winter, there isn’t much tourist traffic here, and you can enjoy a quiet place.
The other thing that makes this season quite enticing for visiting during winter is that airfare tends to be low. Accommodation prices also fall during the winter season, making it an easy stay. There are also a number of deals to take advantage of during this time.
For weeklong vacations, per person, you may end up saving an average of $150 for the trip. There are also at least 117 other islands in this tropical area that you can choose for vacation purposes.
These islands are the ones that makeup French Polynesia, which is a tropical paradise, making it a nice escape from the wintry chill at home.
New York
One place that you wouldn’t have expected on this list is New York. This is because most people tend to go away during winter. And the New York tourism board has done well to ensure that the tourist enjoys their time during the winter. You also have a number of savings to make thanks to the board.
The first thing you don’t want to miss out on is the NYC restaurant week, in which major restaurants showcase their menus. You also get to experience the NYC Broadway Week, where a number of shows come to the forefront. You get major discounts during the fanfare that takes place.
Still, with regards to discounts, you get two-for-one tickets for Broadway shows that you’ll be watching. You get discounts on menus for over 350 restaurants prix-fixe menus. You can also visit the museums, or take a stroll to the major attractions (for example, the Empire State Building and Central Park, among others).
