Do you really know? Could wanderlove give you more dating options?
According to the most recent figures from the Association of British Travel Agents, the number of people going on holidays alone has soared over the last decade. In 2011, the proportion was just 6%, but in 2023 it had risen to 16%. The organisation’s media release said it showed people have a “strong appetite to go it alone”.

Where does the trend come from? Are people really getting fed up with dating apps?
