With solo travel becoming increasingly popular with both women and men, and the stigma around single holidays largely gone, there’s no reason why not to indulge yourself in total freedom on your next trip. Citing flexibility and wanting to visit destinations that are of no interest to their partner, a third of the over 50s in the UK travel single more than once a year.
