Alfa Travel, a well-regarded coach operator, is removing single room supplements on its 2025 holidays, benefiting solo travellers.
- Over 21,000 single rooms across standard offerings will be available without extra charges for individuals.
- This decision applies to stays at in-house Leisureplex Hotels and select partner properties, enhancing accessibility.
- Solo travel packages include welcome drinks, full board, excursions, and nightly entertainment for an enriched experience.
- Special offers include a five-day break to South Wales and Bristol, with bookings requiring only a low deposit.
The progressive decision by Alfa Travel to remove single supplements is a significant step towards inclusivity in the travel industry, by making their packages more accessible and appealing to solo travellers. Previously, such additional charges could discourage individuals from booking holidays. Now, solo travellers can choose from more than 21,000 single rooms without additional fees, offering greater accessibility and freedom of choice.
This initiative covers accommodation options at Alfa Travel’s own Leisureplex Hotels as well as carefully selected partner properties. By eliminating the extra costs associated with single rooms, Alfa Travel ensures that solo travellers are not financially disadvantaged compared to group travel companions.
The arrangement of the solo travel packages is comprehensive, with a thoughtfully curated inclusion of a welcome drink upon arrival, accommodation, dinner and breakfast, as well as scheduled excursions and entertainment on most evenings. These enhancements aim to provide a rich and fulfilling experience for solo adventurers.
One of the notable offers is a newly introduced five-day break to South Wales and Bristol. This package, priced at £399 per person, includes excursions to Cardiff and Ross-on-Wye, and is available for booking with a minimal deposit of £25 per person if reserved through agents or directly before the end of November.
Emma Russell, the managing director of Alfa Travel, noted the popularity of solo travel among their customers, attributing this trend to a broader acceptance and interest in travelling alone for personal growth and experiences. She highlighted the introduction of a ‘cosy doubles’ room category, offering the luxury of a double bed to solo travellers for an additional £15 per night, further catering to individual preferences.
Alfa Travel’s removal of single room supplements marks a forward-thinking shift in travel inclusivity.
