Q: I would like to know why single travelers must often pay almost twice the price for a holiday compared to the price per person that couples pay?
A: This is a common complaint about among single holidaymakers and travellers. Hotels frequently charge single supplements in an effort to maximise their revenues per hotel room. However, things are improving and holiday companies such as
Thomson Holidays For One and
Thomas Cook Singles Skiing are starting to offer better deals for solo travelers.

"There is something aesthetically pleasing about the way the Lincoln Memorial, National Monument and Capitol Building are all lined up east to west across Washington DC. Even when looking at a map it's good on the eye and in person it's a marvelous walk not to be missed."
