As a single traveler, sometimes its difficult to find tour companies that treat you more than just an afterthought to their coupled travelers.  Here are some tour companies that specialize in single, senior travel. 

As a provider of cultural walking adventures, culinary tours and family journeys to more than 60 destinations, Classic Journeys (www.classicjourneys.com), not only reaches out to solo travelers, they embrace them.

Singles Travel Co. (www.singlestravelcompany.com) branched out with trips just for the over-60 single traveler this year. They are starting trips in 2009 for women that will concentrate more on 'just the girls' activities and interests."

Singles Travel International (www.singlestravelintl.com) has a number of vacations for 50-plus and has a terrific Web site with the first international singles travel community. They have taken the guesswork out of the roommate-matching dilemma: Each of our tours has ages posted, and you may access the profiles of travelers already booked on each tour.

Today's Seniors are savvier, more active, and more able to go, see, and do than ever before. Renowned travel expert Arthur Frommer emphasized the growing importance of this vital demographic recently during a speech presented to the Hotel Maritime Association in Hollywood, Florida.
