Company mission
To create one million meaningful friendships across the globe.
Our take
Flash Pack is a travel firm whose mission is to build new friendships through group travel for solo travellers. The founders are a couple who started discussing the business idea behind Flash Pack during their first date. Both of them realised 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.
While the company took a hit during the pandemic, hitting pause on its adventures like many others - but it didn't stay down for long. Since relaunching, the company has seen even more success, with triple-digit year-on-year growth and a shelf full of awards to show for it. And with the solo travel market heating up fast, Flash Pack looks perfectly positioned to ride the next big wave.
