PHOENIX — Looking to get some bang for your buck on your next vacation? The Valley could be your ideal destination.

According to USA Today, Phoenix is the fourth-best place for travelers to get the best value as ranked by travel site Hotwire.

The discount booking site crunched the numbers to determine the ten U.S. cities that provide the best value for travelers. Ratings in the “Travel Value Index” are based on a combination of low airfares, car rentals and lodging prices, how frequently those prices are discounted, and the presence of bargain entertainment options.

Overall, the top city was Atlanta, followed by Orlando and Tampa, respectively. Dallas rounded out the top five.
