FOR IMMEADIATE RELEASE

Tour Operator that Caters to Single Parent Families

October 2003-This is the inaugural season of Single Parent Tours, the first nationwide tour operator that designs trips for single parent families. Brenda Elwell, author of The Single Parent Travel Handbook and nation's leading expert on single parent travel, will be hosting many of the trips personally, including Single Parent Tours' first weekend trip (Nov. 14-16) to the Rocking Horse Ranch Resort in Highland, NY.

Why is single parent travel different than traditional family travel? "By definition, the single parent is a working parent," says Brenda. "Traditional double parent vacations are structured to get rid of the kids so the parents can have couple time, but the single parent always winds up as the 'odd man out' stuck somewhere in the space between 'family couple' and 'swinging single.'" Single Parent Tours trips are affordable for the single parent, provide family bonding time as well as separate adult and kid bonding time and are a great place to meet other single parents!!

The Single Parent Tours inaugural trip to Beaches Boscobel Resort in Jamaica during August was a rousing success! Forty-two single parent families attended! Families came from all over the USA and many new friendships were formed. Instead of feeling like an outsider, single parents felt celebrated and welcomed.

Some emails Brenda received right afterwards.

"[My daughter] and I really enjoyed the trip and we plan to go again next year." -Jennifer from California

"I REALLY look forward to another trip soon."-Karen from California

Weekend and weeklong trips on Single Parent Tours' horizon: Monterrey, CA; Solvang, CA; Estes Park, CO; Playa del Carmen, Mexico; Philadelphia, PA and more! See SingleParentTours.com for announcements.
