For Filipinos who are planning to go on a solo vacation this year, Emirates has curated special tips and tricks to help customers embrace the sheer thrill, freedom, and adventure of traveling alone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solo travel has been\nsteadily gaining ground post pandemic. In a 2023 survey conducted by Solo\nTravel World in the United States, 68% of participants identified themselves as\nindependent travelers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even among\nFilipinos, solo travel continues to grow. A post-pandemic report published by\ntravel accommodation platform Airbnb in August 2023 revealed that solo travel\nin 2022 grew by 185% year-on-year compared to 2021. The report also revealed\nthat private room bookings in 2022 grew by 200%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solo travel offers a\nunique opportunity to explore the world on your own terms, without having to\naccommodate the whims and wants of travel companions. Whether you\u2019re a seasoned\nsolo traveler or planning your first independent trip, Emirates\u2019 multicultural\ncabin crew will transform the way you perceive travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On booking hotels\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alessandra Piper<\/strong> from the UK,\nwho has been flying with Emirates for over nine years shares her hacks: \u201cI make\nit a point to go on at least two solo trips a year. Always book hotels with a\nflexible booking policy, as you may decide to stay longer in some places at the\nspur of the moment. The flexible policy will ensure you do not get stuck with\ncancellation fees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On gastronomy\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eabha Sloyan<\/strong> from Ireland channeled her inner foodie: \u201cFood\nmarkets are absolutely fabulous. In my most recent trip I visited the famous\nTsukiji Market in Tokyo. Spending the evening in the market and bingeing on\nlots of sushi was a culinary adventure I could only dream of. The energy, fresh\nfood and exquisite flavors made\nit an unforgettable experience. It\u2019s a place I could go back to again and\nagain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On safety and local culture\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shamiso Guvava<\/strong>, from the UK, who\nhas been with Emirates for over a year: \u201cMy cabin crew training changed my\noutlook of a solo trip. It taught me vigilance and attentiveness. Safety is of\nutmost importance. My training also equipped me with the confidence to\ncommunicate with people from diverse backgrounds and take guidance from locals\nand fellow travelers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On exploring\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Irfan Huseinovic<\/strong>, a Bosnian, who has\nbeen at Emirates for over a year: \u201cMy trick is to walk everywhere as it makes\nit easier to navigate and explore the city at your own pace. My longest solo\nvacation was in Malta, when I spent 25 days on the beautiful island. It was an\nincredible trip filled with self-discovery, adventure, and unbelievable\nexperiences. From exploring ancient ruins to soaking up the sun on\nbreath-taking beaches, every moment was magical.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Micaela Olivieri, <\/strong>an Argentinian cabin crew member with Emirates for over two\nyears, listed her top three must-dos: \u201cFirst things first, always take care of\nyourself and your personal belongings. When walking in a crowded area, ensure\nyour bag is in front of you rather than behind. Secondly, be situationally\naware of the culture and respect it. Lastly, always trust your intuition and\nuse your past experiences for guidance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alessandra Piper:<\/strong> \u201cThe best\nthing I\u2019ve learned so far: don\u2019t be glued to your phone! Keep it in a secure\nplace so you aren\u2019t tempted to keep checking it. Look around, take in the\nsights and enjoy the view!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
