What solo travelers actually need
The travel industry was built around couples and families. Solo travelers face two consistent friction points: single supplements (resorts charge 1.5-1.8× the per-person rate when you stay alone), and a sense of isolation when everyone around is in groups. Zeniva works specifically with properties and tour operators that solve both.
