Solo Travelers: Backroads Reduces Room Fees

  • Backroads launched Solo Room Savings, reducing private room fees on over 500 active trips worldwide to meet the growing solo travel market demand.
  • The initiative is aimed at making group adventures more appealing to solo travelers, particularly women over 50, by offering the comfort of a private room without the typical premium cost.
  • The savings apply to a wide range of trips, including Biking, Hiking & Walking, and Multi-Adventure Tours, across Europe, the US, Canada, Latin America, and more.
  • The reduced fees are available to adult travelers (18 and up) and teens (16–17) on Family Adventures, supporting both single adventurers and multi-generational groups desiring privacy.

Backroads, a global leader in active travel, has introduced Solo Room Savings, a wonderful new initiative designed to make adventure travel more accessible and appealing to the rapidly growing solo market. The company is enthusiastically addressing the needs of travelers who seek a perfect mix of group camaraderie and personal downtime. This proactive move involves reducing private room fees on an impressive selection of over 500 active trips worldwide.

This new program directly benefits solo adventurers, particularly women over 50 who are currently driving the upward trend in this market segment. It also thoughtfully provides an option for members of multi-generational groups (such as family trips) who simply prefer their own space after an invigorating day of activity. Reduced single-room supplements are now available across a diverse range of itineraries, spanning continents and activities—from Lodge-to-Lodge Hiking in the French Alps to Multi-Adventure Tours in the Galápagos and Bike Tours from Vermont to Quebec.
