You meet new people when travelling regardless of whether or not you want to meet new people.

If you specifically want to travel to meet new people make sure you go through the proper channels to avoid being scammed or worse. You can find people online before you visit the place. There are tour agencies that take you to places you want to visit but if you ask them they take you to people’s homes to get the authentic local experience.

People also meet up at concerts, raves and nightclubs in cities famous for their night life.

There are some tours which include local weddings where you get to meet new people but it really depends on where you visit. If you ever get a chance to go to a destination wedding make sure you go.

Conventionally people meet up at hostels or during group tours. These are great ways to meet new people.

When you are travelling you are more vulnerable than you realise so it is important to maintain situational awareness at all times. That being said, there are many opportunities to meet new people when travelling so keeping yourself open to new experiences is probably the best way to meet them.
