Increase in demand for singles holidays
We are delighted to inform you that due to rising demand for singles holidays, our featured Over-55s specialist Grand UK Holidays has added five new escorted tours to its range for mature solo travellers. These new coach holidays will cover destinations such as Bournemouth, Cardiff, Yorkshire and Austria.
The beauty of taking a singles break with Grand UK Holidays is that the company operate a no single room supplement policy and has continued to do so since the company was formed in 1984. Travellers on their main touring programme do not pay supplements for single bedded rooms on mainland UK coach holidays, and it also has a dedicated ‘Friendship Club’ solo travel programme.
Sales director Harold Burke said: “The over-55s age group is a growing market and solo travellers make up an increasingly large proportion of this sector. A significant proportion of our customers are single, widowed or divorced. We have catered for the needs of solo travellers for more than a quarter of a century now and we know what is important to them. Also by having a Grand UK tour manager escort helps to ensure everyone feels included and no one is left out”.
