Leading Australian-based tour operator Inspiring Vacations has launched a new Solo Journeys range of small group tours, designed exclusively for solo travellers.

The new Solo Journeys range provides single-supplement-free holidays, making it more convenient for independent travellers to visit many of the tour operator’s most popular destinations including Japan, Egypt, Sri Lanka, Africa and South America.

Each Solo Journeys tour includes return airfares from Australia’s major airports, a guaranteed solo room (with no single supplement), airport transfers, expert local guides, fully escorted small group touring, and extra meals.

Brendon Cooper, Chief Product Officer and co-founder of Inspiring Vacations, said: “Whether marvelling at the mighty Iguazu Falls, tasting takoyaki in Osaka or on the trail of elephants in Sri Lanka, our new Solo Journeys remove the costly barrier many lone travellers face when planning their trips. We’ve had a great response to Solo Journeys with our customers particularly interested in the trips to Japan, South America and Sri Lanka.”

Inspiring Vacations’ decision to launch a dedicated tour range for solo travellers reflects the company’s deep commitment to customer service. Solo travel is expected to continue its rise in popularity, with 87 per cent of Australians planning a solo trip in the next 12 months according to a recent report by Scoot.

Paul Ryan, CEO and co-founder of Inspiring Vacations, said: “Demand for solo travel is growing amongst people of all ages, whether they are single or want to visit a destination their usual travel partners aren’t interested in. But travelling solo doesn’t have to mean travelling alone. Our new Solo Journeys range connects people through the power of small group travel, encouraging them to fulfil their travel dreams with the assistance of experienced local guides and shared camaraderie.”
