Solo Travel Opportunities are Expanding

When my husband and business partner at Molly’s Caribbean died 12 years ago, I wasn’t sure I wanted to travel on my own. A dilemma, but the opportunity to travel was one of the primary reasons I chose the travel industry as my career for 40+ years. I decided I needed an attitude adjustment to be fulfilled, so I have embraced Solo Travel. An unexpected bonus, I have found other guests welcoming, inviting me to share meals, activities and 5PM cocktails. Recognizing that travelers don’t always have a traveling partner for a variety of reasons, more travel companies are acknowledging the need for Solo pricing. I’ve had excellent experiences with these two companies.
