A recent report by Mintel revealed that the number of single person holidays has grown by over five percent in the past five years. Although a relatively small proportion of the overall holiday market, solo travel is significant within certain groups with a third of single person households under the age of 65 stating they had taken a solo holiday.

Long-haul destinations seemed to be the most popular choice of holiday with more than one in eight long-haul holidays being taken by a solo traveller compared to one in twenty in holidays overall.
