In fact my best vacations have been those. Reason - instead of only spending time with those who you came with, you are "forced" to have fun and meet new people, do more exiting things etc.
Some people do not have character for that though. Some people would not even dare to go to a bar alone in their own home town, lol.
Does that count? Since you mention some organizations I am not sure if that is what you mean.

Organisations I have found as an example (And theres one thats really caught my eye in amongst them are as follows:
