Rejected petition Stop companies charging extra for single travellers booking package holidays

Holiday companies charge as much as double for a single traveller when booking package holidays.
It is said that this is because a single traveller spends less than a couple. If this is the case then this should not apply to All Inclusive Packages where a single traveller would eat or drink less.

More details

Why should a single traveller be expected to pay as much as a couple or group when booking a holiday or hotel room.
Charging extra for a single traveller is discriminating against single people and means that a holiday for a single person is almost impossible to consider when the costs are so extortionate.

for example a 10 night, all inclusive holiday for two to Greece in September 2022 is £977 each, however the same holiday for a single traveller is £1396, how can this be justified?
