7 Types of Traveller

Find your travel style and the trip that suits you best

Not all travellers are the same — and that’s exactly what makes the world of holidays so exciting.

At The Holiday People, we know that one size doesn’t fit all. That’s why we curate a wide range of experiences, from peaceful beach escapes to immersive cultural tours. So whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, or with your whole crew in tow, we’re here to help you find a holiday that truly fits you.

Let’s discover which travel style matches your vibe — and where in the world you should head next.
