In 2018, Klook saw a booming rise in the experiential travel market. As predicted, the global travel industry’s tours and activities market is estimated to reach $183 billion by 2020 and there’s no sign that will slow down in the coming year. We’ve reviewed survey and internal data for 2018 and have found that Solo Travel is one of the emerging trends that will continue to drive the travel industry globally in 2019!
Solo travel has been one of the hottest topics. According to the data, we saw the number of solo travellers from India increase on our platform from 22% in 2017 to 26% in 2018. The rise in solo travel is because travellers want to enjoy some ‘alone time’ and also the flexibility and customisation to explore a destination on-the-go based on their interest.
The travel activities and services booking platform, Klook which currently curates over 60,000+ products across 250 destinations, offers travellers to simply add or discard destinations, popular attractions, local experiences, outdoor excursions, WiFi and transportation, and best foods, giving rise to the trend of DIY Travel which liberates the true meaning of traveling for the people, by the people.
