taj mahal, India

1. India - the country's currency went down by 20% that gives the almighty dollar more buying power. The country also host major international hotel chains like Intercontinental which will construct 16, Hyatt will build 24, and Hilton are planning to build 9. However, the flight is a bit pricey at $1,000 if you're coming from the East Coast. 

2. The Jersey Shore - Because of super storm Sandy Jersey Shore lodgings are having a hard time boucing back which is why the rates are down are because of the lackluster summer there are lot of aggressive deals to choose from.

3. Palm Springs - Because of a growing competition with new hotels opening up it is expected the rates will be down. You can also take advantage of travel deals from airline companies flying this route, including Virgin America's nonstop service from New York's JFK that will resume later this year.

4. Europe's rivers - In 2014 20 new ships will open up and heat up the competition driving down prices. It is estimated that these small river-going ships to accommodate 200,000 additional passengers next year. The desire to fill those cabins could be an opportunity for people who have been priced out of this type of cruise.

5. Ecuador - their government is drumming up their tourism industry that they are reportedly boosting its 2014 advertising budget by 73%. Recent airfares from Miami to Quito have been around $399. But for even better value, take the shopping package deals that combine airfare, lodging, meals and excursions.
