Company mission
Flash Pack's mission is to create 1 million friendships through the power of travel and technology. In a world that increasingly plays out behind screens, we facilitate authentic friendships between people at the same life-stage. We are solving a unique problem for a prominent niche with our global brand appeal.
Our take
Flash Pack is a travel firm whose mission is to build new friendships through group travel for solo travellers in their 30s and 40s. The founders are a couple who started discussing the business idea behind Flash Pack during their first date. Both of them realized that there was a gap in the market for a travel company that catered to people such as themselves.
Their target market is professionals with a growth mindset. Their trips are carefully designed to offer immersive and authentic experiences, distinguishing Flash Pack in a tourism market that is crowded with bland trips.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a devastating effect on the tourism industry, which led to the cancellation of the programs organized by Flash Pack for 2020 and 2021. Since then the business has re-launched and is trending towards pre-pandemic levels.
