"Secure Your Spot for the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse: Reserve Your Hotel Today!"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The New York Times
Hotels in the path of the 2024 total solar eclipse, which will cross 13 U.S. states from Texas to Maine on April 8, are already selling out and prices are soaring. Popular destinations include Texas, Arkansas, and southeastern Oklahoma due to their clear weather forecasts. Major hotel chains are experiencing high demand, and even home-sharing services like Airbnb and Vrbo are struggling to meet the surge in bookings. However, reasonably priced accommodations can still be found if travelers look beyond the major destinations. Campsites along the eclipse path are also booking up quickly, but some are still available. Travel experts advise booking now and checking hotel cancellation policies carefully.
