Methodology
1 OpenTable & KAYAK Data: OpenTable looked at the share of solo dining by month in 2023 and KAYAK looked at the largest share of hotel searches for one person by month in 2023.
2 Survey Methodology: An online survey was conducted by PureSpectrum among 2,000 general consumers in the US. Within this sample, major cities have been weighted for direct comparison. The research fieldwork took place between 3rd - 5th June 2024.
3KAYAK & OpenTable Data: A total of 25 cities have been selected based on the largest share of solo travel searches made on KAYAK and the share of solo dining at OpenTable restaurants. The solo travel share has been identified based on the hotel searches for one person conducted from January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024 for the travel period between January 17, 2024 and November 30, 2024. To identify solo dining share, OpenTable looked at solo seated diners from phone, online and walk-in reservations from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 in cities with over 50 restaurants on the platform as of January 1, 2024.

To compare year-over-five-year, KAYAK considered hotel searches for one person based on searches conducted from 1/1/19 - 6/30/19 for travel between 1/7/19 - 11/30/19.
