The Travel Industry Continues to Evolve: Uniqe Travel Clubs Become More Popular

Dec. 2, 2010 - PRLog -- Gone are the days of travel agent storefronts and relying on these small businesses to send you abroad. With the .com era came multitudes of travel booking websites, deals, and instant access to all types of travel. And now, with the Great Recession beginning to lift, a new form of travel is beginning to gain popularity: group travel.

But not just any group travel: small defined niches of people who share common interests are forming clubs all over the world. Two popular clubs in the San Francisco Bay Area are gaining wide recognition.

Singles by the Bay Travel Club offers great rates for singles and solo travelers. The group travels to exotic places like Hawaii, Bali, the Caribbean, and Mexico.  Mixer's and other events are common while abroad to help the group mix and mingle.

Shutterfly Travel Club is a different group that focuses on adventure travel with an emphasis on photography. They bring members all over the world and try to capture great images doing it. The group often brings professional photographers on the trips who offer lessons and photography advice. They have been to Australia, Hawaii, Peru, Italy and many more.

Both of these groups share some great benefits. 1. Membership is free. All you have to do is go onto their sites and join to get access to all of the trips. 2. They help their members save money by pairing everyone up with a roommate. This way costly single supplement prices are avoided. 3. The organizers are experienced travel professionals who work hard to get the best deals and create the most  unique trips for the groups. They accompany the members on each trip and ensure every trip is run perfectly.  

In 2011, Singles by the Bay Travel Club and Shutterfly Travel Club are heading to Egypt in February, Hawaii in March, Kenya in April, Australia in May, Morocco in June, and Alaska in August.

For more information you can contact the group organizers and check out the club at singlesbythebaytravel.com & shutterflytravel.com
