Solo Travelers Love Backroads
BERKELEY, CA (December 2006)— For singles, or those just interested in taking a solo vacation, Backroads’ Singles+Solos Trips are the perfect choice, providing travelers with planning ease, security and camaraderie with like-minded companions. Backroads was one of the first companies to offer trips exclusively for independent travelers, back in 1989. In 2007, Backroads will offer 53 trips worldwide (with more than 100 departures) reserved for those traveling on their own. New adventures include a walking & hiking trip in Yosemite and a multisport adventure in Nova Scotia.
“Our trips for solo travelers offer the award-winning high-quality experience that travelers have come to expect of all Backroads trips, while providing the comfort of vacationing with other independent individuals,” says Tom Hale, Backroads’ Founder and President. “Guests on our Singles+Solos Trips share an appreciation for quality, a spirit of adventure and fitness and a passion for fun. What more could you ask for in your traveling companions?”
Traveling solo with Backroads is the best of all worlds—a carefree adventure with a blend of time alone and together. Backroads does all the legwork: discovering the most intriguing biking, walking and hiking routes, arranging accommodations at luxury hotels and cozy inns, and bringing natural and cultural attractions to life. Guests are encouraged to be as active or as relaxed as they like, to travel at their own pace and to pursue personal interests, comfortable in the knowledge that Backroads is handling all the details.
A bonus for non-procrastinating solo travelers: The first five guests to sign up for a Singles+Solos Inn Trip departure receive $100 off the trip price. And if a solo traveler signs up 30 days before the trip start (and doesn’t want a guaranteed private room), Backroads will waive the single supplement charge if a roommate isn’t found.
