According to a study released by Kayak and Open Table, 50 percent of Americans plan to travel alone this year, and six out of 10 will dine as a party of one. National Harbor, Maryland, offers plenty of fun activities for solo travel and, as an added bonus, is just minutes from Washington, D.C.
Thanks to the study’s findings and growing interest in solo travel, National Harbor created the ultimate travel itinerary, Solocation, for solo travelers. Expect an activity-packed overnight experience with waterfront hotel accommodations, meals, a ride on The Capital Wheel, and other perks and tickets to major events and attractions throughout the year.
National Harbor’s location and large portfolio of hotels, restaurants, shopping, waterfront attractions and special events make it the ideal location for a solo trip. Some exciting solo activities include biking and walking trails along the waterfront, an outdoor art exhibit, outdoor exercise classes, kayaks and paddleboard rentals, boat rentals, and guided experiences from REI. Travelers also have the option to venture over to Washington, D.C., for the museums and monuments, or to Old Town Alexandria for a stroll around a quaint town.
“Between our wide variety of hotels and dining experiences to the many activities National Harbor offers and our signature events, it’s a great location for those traveling alone. Single travel is growing at National Harbor, just as it has nationwide,” said Deborah Topcik, director of marketing, National Harbor. “We wanted to create an itinerary where singles could enjoy the many activities and amenities at National Harbor. There is so much available to see and do and visitors can opt for a day trip, an overnight, or a weekend getaway to feel rejuvenated.”
