November is officially here and that means Black Friday and Cyber Monday — arguably the two biggest shopping days of the holiday season — are right around the corner. Black Friday and Cyber Monday used to be much bigger deals when they were the only time you could lock in major savings on holiday gifts.

The burgeoning phenomenon, which falls on Tuesday, Dec. 3, this year, sees retailers offer special one-day deals and discounts on airline flights, cruises and hotels.

It’s that time of the year when the best day for shopping arrives. Anyone who loves a good vacation deal is preparing for what is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals in the hotel industry.
