Finding the best beach vacation Orbitz just launched a new initiative called Beach Finder, a new vacation search tool that helps travelers find the best beach vacation based on their own selected preferences. It’s ideal for travelers who know they want a beach vacation but aren't sure which destination is best suited for them. The website asks travelers three questions about who is traveling, preferred vacation activities, and desired hotel options to provide information that will help determine the best choice. The tool then searches over 450 of Orbitz’s top beachfront hotels in the US, Caribbean, Mexico and South America that have been handpicked and then ranked by Orbitz’s team of Hotel Market Managers based on these criteria. Travelers can then choose from a recommended list of these select properties that most closely match their ideal beach. Try it out at www.myidealbeach.com.
