Solo Travel
The clubs, resorts, tour operators and travel agents particularly attuned to the needs of single travelers
By Arthur Frommer, Friday, May 6, 2005, 11:00 AM
There is a growing consensus, especially among the younger generation, that single people cannot only travel alone, but should. In seminar after seminar, workshop after workshop, arguments are made that it is preferable to travel alone, that unaccompanied adults become more sensitive to the local culture and language, more capable of meeting people, when they travel without a friend of their own background, and without even their spouse.
Tour operators and travel agents for singles.
Not surprising as one out of every four travelers nowadays is now going it alone (according to the Travel Industry Association). We have the space here to list just a few of the top firms, but if there are terrific ones we're missing, we'd love to hear about them.

Budget Travel Editors: Thanks for joining us this week. Let's get to your questions!
_______________________
Savannah, Georgia: I love to travel, and the journey is more important than the destination. Since I travel alone and don’t like the idea of sharing with strangers, I would like to know if there are companies that have travel packages WITHOUT A SINGLE SUPPLEMENT. Thank you.
Budget Travel Editors: There are companies that cater directly to single travelers and enable you to avoid paying a single supplement by pairing you with another same-sex single traveler who you'll be sharing a room with. If you don't mind meeting new people--and sharing your space with them--then it's a great way to keep costs low while exploring the world on your own. All Singles Travel (800/717-3231, allsinglestravel.com) has been in business for 10 years and caters specifically to the solo traveler. Most of their passengers range in age from their 30's through their 50's and the company also offers trips for Jewish, Christian, and senior singles

Tips for Single Travelers
>
On package vacations, single travelers are often hit with a "single supplement" to the base price. To avoid it, you can agree to room with other single travelers or find a compatible roommate before you go, from roommate-locator agencies.
All Singles Travel (tel. 800/717 3231; www.allsinglestravel.com) arranges Egypt tours with good hotels and possible extensions to see Israel as well.

Going Solo More--But Who to Go With?
Posted by: Steve Merrill, Thursday, Dec 6, 2007, 12:02 PM
The New York Times ran an article yesterday about explosive growth in solo travel. It's not especially surprising, given related, long-emerging demographic trends like high divorce rates, delayed marriage ages, and a new freedom in the expectations surrounding couple-hood. That it's not your grandfather's travel world anymore seems pretty obvious
So help me out: Who's the best in online travel right now for finding vacation companions for solos? Is anyone doing it really well, with great new tools suited to the modern digital environment
If you are looking for a singles tour with different tours try All Singles Travel (www.allsinglestravel.com).They have a variety of different trips to common and uncommon places.
