Who are we and what do we do?
- gapyear.com is an international social media site and a travel portal especially for adventurous travellers who want to spend more than just a couple of weeks overseas. The annual UK gap year market is estimated at 230,000 young travellers, 90,000 career breakers and a further 200,000 retirees.
- We are the UK’s largest gap year information website for 16-24 year olds but nearly 40% of our members are aged 25 and above, so we capture a major share of a highly lucrative market estimated to be worth over £11bn.
- Our content blends the work of some of the best-known, most-experienced travel writers, country and activity specialists, seasoned travellers and first-time gappers. We provide social media content of the highest possible standard and are editorially independent and determined to tell it like it is.
- Though primarily a website, we also publish in print, on mobile platforms [and expect video to be an increasingly important part of our content offering. We are a primary gateway to over a £1 billion+ annual spend in the UK outbound gap year travel market.
