According to the most recent figures from the Association of British Travel Agents, the number of people going on holidays alone has soared over the last decade. In 2011, the proportion was just 6%, but in 2023 it had risen to 16%. The organisation’s media release said it showed people have a “strong appetite to go it alone”.
And you could say the solo travel trend is part of the wider "self-love" movement, a personal development method named after the best-selling book of the same name written by American clinical social worker Megan Logan.
