Adventure operator hopes to optimise long weekends with new range

Flash Pack's new 'Short Stays' range offers six trips for solo travellers in their 30s and 40s, helping them maximise their annual leave and make the most of long weekends with three- to five-day 'micro-vacations'.

After a social survey uncovered that three- to five-day trips were the perfect way to acclimatise first-time solo travellers, the six new breaks have been introduced for summer 2024: the range features Flash Pack's debut in Georgia.

The 'Undiscovered Georgia' itinerary uncovers the secrets of wine-making at the supposed birthplace of wine and offers up a dip in the subterranean sulphur baths at Abanotubani. The inaugural departure will take place on June 27th, 2024 with prices leading in at £900 per person.

The survey also found that the top three considerations being made when booking weekend getaways comprise the right destination, the right price, and the right itinerary.

CMO and co-founder Lee Thompson described the new range as "big on cultural immersion and unique experiences," continuing: "Whether you’re looking for a weekend adrenaline rush, boutique hotel stays or headspace in natural desert landscapes, our new Short Stays collection embodies the same one-of-a-kind experiences of a longer Flash Pack adventure..."

Other options include a four-day 'Authentic Istanbul' trip from £1,300 per person and four-day 'Escape to Marrakech' from £980 per person.

"[The tours] offer the perfect way to scratch your solo travel itch in a group format, before diving in the deep end with a longer escape,” Lee concluded.

The operator launched to the trade in August 2023 with its trade partner scheme.
