From solo travel bundles to dining guides for the unaccompanied guest, the September 2024 travel trends celebrate and center the role of solo travel.
For decades now, airlines, hotels, and hospitality brands have largely marketed their offerings toward couples and families, but rarely to the solo traveler (save for the business men and women traveling for work). However, in recent years, there's been a much bigger push to cater to solo adventurers who are traveling all over the world for fun, not just for business.
The September 2024 travel trends exemplify this shift with all kinds of new offerings for solo adventures. For instance, Priceline has Solo Explorer packages that include exclusive offers for unaccompanied travelers. On the other hand, OpenTable and Kayak teamed up to create an extensive guide for those who plan to dine alone in new cities.
