It’s the perfect time to travel in Asia. Hotels.com, an online hotel booking platform, has released its latest Hotel Price Index report, showing that the global average nightly hotel rate in 2015 increased slightly by 1% compared to 2014, while Asia saw the largest decline. For example, Taiwan’s average nightly hotel price dropped by 11% from 2014, which also boosted tourism activity in Asia.
