Generation 35+: no kids, no partner, but a strong desire to travel

Organized trips for singles over 35 without children: the new frontier of conscious tourism

Millennials are reshaping the travel market. Independent, often without children or a steady partner, they choose to travel solo—yet not alone. In 2024, solo travelers accounted for 34% of tourists in Italy. The solo travel market generated $34.9 million in Italy, with an expected CAGR of 14.4% (2025–2030).

The “no kids no partner travellers” seek freedom, experiences over possessions, and authentic connections. Operators like Speed Vacanze® meet this demand with sailing tripssingle cruises, and cultural weekends designed for over 35s.

Feedback is positive: in 2024, 92% of participants felt “welcomed and free to be themselves.” These are not just holidays but life experiences: self-care, exploration, friendships, and sometimes love.

As Marta, 38, shares: “It wasn’t a standard trip, but an authentic experience. I met people who are still part of my life.”

The movement is growing: after one trip, many are eager to book the next. Traveling solo, but in the right way, is becoming the ultimate expression of conscious freedom.
