Collette hosting virtual event about solo travel on March 19 – register now

Collette is inviting travel advisors across North America to a special virtual event designed to help them better understand and sell to one of the most rapidly expanding segments in travel: solo travellers. 

The session will be held on March 19, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. ET, and advisors are encouraged to register with their clients.

The event, titled “An Inside Look at the Solo Travel Experience,” will feature guest speaker Elizabeth Simmons, an experienced solo traveller who will share firsthand insights into what it truly feels like to explore the world independently — from the emotional leap of taking a first solo trip to the unexpected connections, confidence, and empowerment that come along the way

“As more travellers embrace the freedom of exploring on their own, especially women and those over 50, travel advisors need tools and knowledge to support them,” said Denise Sablone, executive vice president of tour design and delivery, in a press release.. “This event is designed to help advisors understand the motivations, concerns, and opportunities within the solo market so they can guide and inspire their clients.”

During the session, advisors and interested solo travellers will hear real stories and practical advice covering:

• What motivates solo travellers, especially those taking their first trip later in life
• How guided travel provides safety, structure, independence, and connection
• The unique needs and expectations of female solo travellers
• Why small‑group touring resonates so strongly with the solo market

Travel advisors will walk away with a deeper understanding of the emotional and logistical landscape solo travellers navigate — and actionable ways to build their business within this expanding segment.

Advisors who are interested in registering for the event can do so here.  Access to an on-demand version will be available for those that register but are unable to attend the live event.  

In addition to live and on-demand virtual events for travel advisors and their clients, Collette has several great tools for advisors available in the Travel Advisor Portal.
