I worked for a dating site a long time ago. The business model seems simple at first glance but the incentives of the customer and business are almost 100% in opposition:
We leverage an entrance fee to reduce that conflict of interest. Once someone pays the entrance fee, we have little incentive to keep them single and looking. We actually want them to go on dates and make a margin on the dates we book.

The sign up fee makes sense. The per-date margin seems to be diametrically opposed.
The upshot of this however is that, if you are being honest in your profile, these things are things that you want to do anyway.
If you still take the effort to talk to the person before going on a booked trip, it should be an experience you will enjoy.
Of course, things can go wrong. But part of any relationship is taking that risk.
I don't think this is a silver bullet, no, but I think it is a pretty good framework for people who are in a good place to find in a healthy relationship. I.e. comfortable and honest with themselves and looking for a partner to enrich their lives rather than just seeking 'a relationship' (i.e. trying to fill some other void in themselves).
