Solo-ish addresses ‘loneliness epidemic’ with trips curated to help travellers travel for themselves, not by themselves
Acknowledging the ongoing ‘loneliness epidemic’ and celebrating travelling solo as a mindset, G Adventures introduces Solo-ish Adventures – G Adventures’ first travel style created exclusively for solo travellers who wish to travel alone and are seeking personal growth, connection and safety as they travel.
Available to book now, Solo-ish features 13 trips in some of G Adventures’ most popular destinations, including Costa Rica, India, Peru, South Africa and Vietnam. All trips will harness the power of community tourism, ensuring local interactions and maximum benefit to local people in terms of money staying in the destination.
Yves Marceau, VP of product at G Adventures, says, “We’ve seen a rise in the more mature traveller, who is no longer willing to wait for a partner, friends or family to book an adventure. Many are still seeking the connection that comes with a group, and this is where Solo-ish shines. With no upper age limit, Solo-ish is open to everyone who wants to experience the adventure of a lifetime, while making some truly special friendships and memories along the way.”
“Fun-filled dinner parties and surprise experiences help bring the group closer together in the first few days of the tour, while respecting solo travellers’ desire for free time and space. With safety front of mind for many solo travellers, especially our solo female travellers, Solo-ish trips go above and beyond to ensure people feel safe and supported so they can focus on exploring and making local connections to a country and its people,” says Marceau.
