Why Women Travel?

January 22, 2011 by Rosemary

Marybeth Bond the Gutsy Traveller, follows the trends and offers some Statistics about Women Travellers, here is a excerpt from her site:

With 32 million trips taken last year, U.S. women — young, old, single, married, divorced, widowed, mothers, daughters and sisters — have become a driving force in the travel industry. Estimates are that women will spend some $125 billion on travel in the next year.

80% of all travel decisions are made by women regardless of :

  • who they travel with
  • who pays for the trip
  • or where they go

…. A woman is the decision maker

75% of those who take cultural, adventure or nature trips are women

230%, increase in number of women-only travel companies in past six years.

Women — young, old, single, married, and widowed are fueling an explosive growth in the travel industry.
