Currently, 37% of people travel solo compared to 16% in 2013 according to the survey established by Visa (Global Travel Intentions Study) in 25 countries around the world.
You are not dreaming, others have already realized their dream of traveling alone in the world.
A new type of solo travel.
Solo travel rhymes with clumsy flirting do you think. This is partly true, but it is becoming a minority part of solo travelers most of whom are just looking to discover new horizons and experience new cultures, places and friendly acquaintances.
The solo traveler profile.
The solo traveler… is a woman according to comments collected by the New York Times. And not necessarily a single woman looking for love. More than 50% of them are married or in a couple and willingly go on an adventure.
The travel industry is responding to demand.
New way of traveling means new adjustments in the travel market. If you want to travel alone, organizations now offer to travel at a lower cost. Soloways, the specialist in solo departures or traditional agencies (Look Voyages, Fram, Club Med, Marmara) now offer offers for solo travellers. For small budgets, we aim for youth hostels on HostelBookers.
Don't be afraid to leave.
For all those who are afraid of being bored, of finding themselves alone or simply afraid of the unknown, remember that you do not know each other while traveling and that you would be surprised by your state of mind. Why not try to start a solo weekend in a capital? It is then up to you to determine if this way of traveling suits you. And if you need to reassure yourself and learn more from a globetrotter, Aude signs a cheerful ebook entitled The Art of Traveling Alone, full of tips and tricks available here!
