What would be the difference if you went solo on a similar package but other travelers would not be solo?
If it is not about dating (solo people meeting other solo people during the trip) then I do not understand what is the difference between those packages and same/similar packages that do not claim to be "for solo travelers only"?

Well thats a fair question but to really answer, you nee d to trust me in that I say there is no side or ulterior motive to my answer... And my answer is that the difference is, that its just solos really... Thats about it. Everyone else is 'solo'- lets not say single, but solo - and you are all in the same (metaphorical) boat...
The idea is that really I suppose that there are not any couples etc on the trip, just solo people. I mean, OK, some people would want to hook up, or try and meet that special someone, but its really not the emphasis of the trip. If thats what you wanted, there are PLENTY of better options available.
I however am not considering hooking up or the possibility thereof to be the focus of the trip. Would I say no, if someone I found attractive offered? Possibly not, however thats not the aim of the game for me.
I look at it more as a complete package holiday all for one payment. Flights, airport transfer, Double room to myself in a nice hotel, meals etc all taking place somewhere with a group of like minded individuals. Events would be planned during the week that you could choose to participate in, (or not as the case may be) Join in or not, the choice is yours...
I'm thinking it could be a nice hassle free relaxing week in an environment that I perceive as one I would like to experience... At least once...
Is there a huge difference to doing as you said and going somewhere without the 'solo' tag attached to it? Well other than paying single traveler supplements on the room etc, then no, probably not... But then again it might be? I dunno...
Bottom line I think is like I have said I have been away on my own before and done it that way. Now I might like to try it another way... No biggy
If you look at the link I posted and read the top paragraph thats before the bit I copied, I think it explains it pretty well
