On The Go Tours joins #SoloSeptember Campaign to support solo travellers

On The Go Tours, the award-winning tour operator specialising in locally-led group tours and tailor-made holidays to worldwide destinations, has joined an industry-wide campaign this September to provide better deals and opportunities for solo travellers.

The #SoloSeptember campaign aims to establish a coalition of businesses, such as Travelzoo, offering discounts and deals to the increasing number of people choosing to holiday alone.

In June, a Travelzoo survey revealed that 96 per cent of Australians have either travelled alone or are considering doing so in the future, showing solo travel is no longer a minority choice. Despite this growth, 78 per cent of Australian’s defer travelling alone because of perceived high cost with the biggest deterrent being the cost of single supplements.

On The Go Tours will be offering solo travellers fantastic deals on their most popular tours and destinations from 1st September until the 30th September.
