WAR -- How will it affect rates---please help
Hello,
My family is travelling to USA this June.
We are in the process of making hotel bookings right now. We will be visiting places like SFO, Orlando, Vegas, New York.
Since these are big tourist attractions, do you think the hotel rates which shoot up or fall down given that the 'war' has begun.
Please let me know what you think. Thanks
Raj

No one knows what the future will hold but conventional wisdom dictates that there will be deals if tourism slacks off. 
enjoy your visit to the US!

I'd recommend booking cancellable rates now, and then within the week or so prior to arrival, check rates and rebook, as if things are soft, the rates will be substantially lower - but if things are pretty full (like this weekend in SF, even though overall things are slow), rates are fairly high for last minute bookings.
