Your First Decision to Travel Solo: Should You Stay or Should You Go?

11/11 is Single's Day, highlighting the solo lifestyle that applies to more and more uncoupled people. The decision to travel solo is among the biggest decisions a singleton makes.

This year will mark the first time many people decide to travel solo. They'll be deciding whether they should stay home or go it alone.


Janice Waugh of Solo Travelers explains why more and more people are taking the solo travel plunge:

It’s true that the trend for solo travel has been growing over the past decade. But, with the last year of restricted travel, it seems that people are less inclined to wait for every detail to be aligned. That includes the detail of having a travel partner. Instead, they are deciding to travel solo!

Booking.com's research indicates that “solo travel is likely to gather even greater momentum as people’s desire to travel will nudge them to take the plunge to travel on their own in 2021”. Their “data pre-pandemic saw only 17%* of travelers were planning a trip on their own, while 30% now say they will be planning a solo trip in the future”.

Tour companies say it’s true: They are seeing more people booking solo trips than in the past and there a several reasons why.

Do any of these scenarios describe you?










The decision to travel solo is, for some, a big one. For others, it's just the logical step given their personality, circumstances, or desires.
