A growing number of women are booking overseas holidays to get away not only from their jobs and daily life – but in addition from their families.

Growing Movement of Single Female Adventurers

Travel agencies have observed a noticeable rise in bookings for single explorers, mostly older women, who are often traveling without partners to journey solo.

Providers specialising in group travel and moderate exploration – commonly moderate recreational activities such as walking and paddling – reported that single – but not typically single – clients were becoming an ever-higher share of their clientele.

Numerical Growth

One major travel provider stated that independent travelers accounted for almost fifty percent of trips for its journeys planned for the coming year, rising from two-fifths in last year. Just under the majority of its ongoing solo bookings are by female travelers.

Two other major tour operators similarly stated that solo bookings among their clients had increased by above 20% in the recent two-year period.

Autonomy and Individual Exploration

A managing director explained that customers reserving their own independent trips was about selecting how they desire to experience the world.

Numerous clients have partners and active social lives, but they additionally cherish the independence to journey on their own schedule. Participating in a small group tour gives them the best of both worlds: the joy of collective adventures and the space to pursue their individual passions.

Demographic Information

A second travel company director shared that the majority of its single traveler trips were ladies, most of whom were in the 45-60 demographic.

These travelers tell us they've focused on their work or parenting and at this stage desire to take time for themselves.

This further indicates their wish to travel is unrestricted by the varying interests or availability of companions.

Preferred Destinations

They tend to opt for places where they can soak up varied customs like Peru, but they also enjoy physical hiking or cycling tours in European destinations.

Pricing and Timing

The price of single journeys generally remains more expensive – however adults without children can also decide to go outside traditional vacation times.

Fall season are busy months for independent travel, based on company reports. A company leader remarked: Independent exploration is a established, increasing trend. The majority of people in an standard expedition are journeying independently.

Market Reaction

A major travel partnership reported that its partners have recorded a significant increase in single traveler reservations this year.

We are seeing more and more travelers who are confident in the choice to explore in a organized tour but on their own, not with families. The market is developing additional options coming out for these travelers.
