USA Today picks Asheville as a top-five summer bargain destination, along with “national parks,” Australia, the Dominican Republic and L.A. Wow.
Asheville, North Carolina
Asheville earns top-five status by being an already affordable destination with new low-cost airline service.AirTran will begin flying between Orlando and Asheville starting June 11, with introductory fares of $69 one-way. You might also check flights into Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (about an hour and thirty minutes away) and Charlotte Douglas International Airport (about two hours away) to compare fares if the lowest price is a priority.
In the Specials and Deals section of ExploreAsheville.com, you’ll find savings such as 50-percent off a second night at the Four Points by Sheraton, $25 per night gas rebate card from the Crowne Plaza, and discounts at museums around town. You can also take advantage of the site’s Asheville budget travel planner, with free activity ideas and more savings opportunities. Plus, Asheville is an ideal jumping-off point for a visit to the Blue Ridge Parkway, known as “America’s Favorite Drive” and a can’t-miss (and free) activity. For more information, the Asheville Travel Blog offers a current look at events and activities in town.

lol, this article really says nothing, sounds like it is just a paid promotion by air tran and some hotels as payback for some advertising in USAToday. the $69 fares they mention are very, very, very limited and for a very short time…just a come-on…. asheville hotels are not cheap. besides, most people drive here. can you imagine visiting here without a car?
will Asheville be the next Sequim, WA?

This story is nothing more that filler for USA Today’s travel section.
If you notice it was just to get here, its inexpensive to travel to get here.
