MATCHMAKING Firm finds Roommates for SINGLE Travelers
=======================================================
[ excerpts from an article seen in the paper this weekend ]
ORLANDO, Fla. - Singleworld is a cruise and tour packager that orchestrates
a match game, not to be confused with a dating game. It books individuals
of the same sex and approximate same age as roommates for prearranged trips
throughout the world. It has found travel partners and coordinated
vacations for more than 170,000 single travelers in the last 27 years.
...........
Its brochure for all of 1984 through April 85 lists about 500 sailings for
15 cruises and 74 departures for 14 land tours worldwide.
...........
Membership in Singleworld costs $18 a year and includes a subscription to 4
newsletters [I guess, that's 4 issues of a newsletter - Ed.]. Only members
are eligable for trips.
For more info, contact a travel agent or Gramercy's Singleworld at 444
Madison Av., Suite 406, NY NY 10022 or (800) 522-6582 in NY-state; and
(800) 233-6490 elsewhere.
A number of businesses and clubs specialize in either matching people for
specific trips or in publishing directories that list prospective travelers
who are looking for travel partners. Singleworld, packaging entire trips,
is the largest among them, with 15,000 members.
