1.    Greece  

Due to economic situation and the fact that tourism is one of Greece  leading industries, the influx of bargains is a win-win for both locals and visitors, as a healthy tourism industry could help Greece revive its economy. A 20% drop in prices has been reported by Tripadvisor.com

2.    Egypt 

Revolutions don't make for an attractive vacation destination—but travel deals do. To counter a drop in demand due to Arab Spring unrest, providers are rolling out some incredible price reductions for Egypt travel. As of press time, we spotted offers like 50 percent off Egypt tours from luxury tour operator Abercrombie & Kent; this deal also includes complimentary travel insurance with select trips. Moreover, Hotels.com lists Cairo as one of 10 worldwide destinations where luxury hotels cost the least.

 

3.    Japan 

The tourism industry in Japan took a major hit after the catastrophic earthquake that struck almost a year ago, and it continues to lag. As it is now safe to travel to Japna, hotels and other travel providers have been offering deep savings on accommodation.

 

4.    Berlin 

This year, Berlin turns 775 and will open a new major international airport. And while the city is one of Europe's best for museums, galleries, fashion, and culture, it offers more bang for your euro compared to major Western European destinations such as London, Paris, or Rome. Average nightly hotel rates in Berlin are just €72.

 

5.    Hawaii 

Hawaiian Airlines and JetBlue recently entered into a partnership agreement that will open up new routes to the Aloha State (this will also bring about the only nonstop flight connecting New York to Hawaii). United's adding a new nonstop from Washington, D.C., as well. New routes usually amount to greater competition, which could work to push down fares to Hawaii in the coming year.

 

6.    Switzerland

This season, ski resorts have been offering free night's stays and free skiing in an effort to draw more guests, reports OnTheSnow. And, as of press time, the Zurich Tourism Board was offering 20 percent off winter stays at a variety of local hotels.

 

7.    The Galapagos 

SmarterTravel editor Caroline Morse did just that and saved a bundle, writing in the incredibly affordable Galapagos trip report: "We ended up walking into one of the numerous tour operators that line the streets on the main island and booking ourselves onto a four-day, three-island tour with everything (meals, accommodations, tours, snorkeling, boat transfers, et cetera) included for just $200 per person." Putting on your travel-agent hat and conducting a bit of research could really pay off when planning a Galapagos getaway.

 

8.    New York

New York is the most expensive U.S. city to spend the night in, according to data gathered from Hotels.com. But high hotel rates can couple with a wealth of free activities to strike an affordable balance for travelers to the Big Apple. City parks, music shows, galleries, breweries, famous stores, monuments, and museums that charge zilch abound in the city—you need only know where to look. We recommend 40 free New York attractions from Lonely Planet. If you're looking for even more savings, use accommodations on sites like Airbnb and Flipkey.

 

9.    Alaska

Alaska is enormous—two times the size of Texas - and crossing hundreds or thousands of miles by plane, train, or automobile isn't cheap. The solution? Set sail. Cruising is the most popular way to tour Alaska—and it may be the cheapest, too. For an amazingly economical Alaska vacation, book a cruise during shoulder season.  A weeklong spring and fall cruise costs as little as $569 per person.

 

10.  Cayman Islands 

Skip the high-rise hotels that line the coast on Grand Cayman and go for a guesthouse or a villa  on one of the Caymans' smaller islands: Cayman Brac or Little Cayman.
