Choose your own adventure with these destinations that are perfect for travelling solo, from short hops to Belfast or Portugal to far-flung adventures in Thailand or Singapore
Whilst 2022 was the year for big reunions, multi-gen travel and carefully coordinated trips with loved ones post-pandemic, 2023 is set to be huge for travellers who want to break away from the beaten path, or simply explore it on their own terms.
Typically thought of as a student’s game, studies suggest that senior travellers are starting to take up more space in the solo travel sector.
Whatever age, stage or vintage, solo travellers tend to take their time and embrace slow travel and research suggests that holidays are deemed more essential than ever for mental health, marking a shift towards carefully-curated trips that have a big personal impact and a smaller environmental one.
Solo travel is also increasingly accessible, with innovative tour operators such as Planet Abled and Halal Tours providing tailor-made trips to under-served communities.
According to Skyscanner, over 50 percent of travellers are choosing to book trips alone in 2023 if their travel interests don’t align with those of their friends – and why compromise?
Whether you want to pick up a new skill, immerse yourself in a new culture, take the scenic route or make new friends on a group tour, these are the best solo travel destinations for 2023.
