What Solo Travellers Want
Solo travellers are looking for experiences that cater specifically to their needs:
No Single Supplement:
The biggest concern for many solo travellers is the added cost of a single supplement. Offering trips where no supplement is required can be a major selling point for your clients.
Safety and Support:
While they value independence, solo travellers still appreciate the peace of mind that comes with organised trips. They want to feel secure and supported without compromising their freedom.
Connection and Community:
Many solo travellers are keen to meet new people and forge connections. Group tours or shared experiences can provide a sense of camaraderie and the chance to bond with fellow explorers.
Personalised Itineraries:
Solo travellers want flexibility, but they also value curated experiences that highlights the best of a destination. Details matter - whether it’s exploring landmarks or dining at a hidden café.
