This is a growing market that the timeshare market in general let down with few exceptions. There is no excuse as solo travellers can be recognised by the timeshare resort when their bookings come in.
I have known of single people who have talked themselves out of a holiday. I can understand how someone may feel like this especially if they have only recently become single. Timeshare resorts can quite easily do a little homework and provide solo travellers with suggestions of places to visit that may be suitable.
Why not get them involved straight away. This is just an idea that would need a little preparation why not reward some of your regular owners to a buffet (perhaps a draw from a hat - contact them asap to ensure attendance) don't make this a sales meeting! A member of staff or on reception would be great. This is where you invite the solo travellers so they can mingle with regulars. This would make them feel very welcome mixing with members. Chat can also be steered where to go and visit and your members can do most of the talking. We want to encourage them to feel comfortable and we want them to come back!
If no one has got anything to add I will put forward some more thoughts a little later.
