Women travelling solo has long been a Hollywood theme for big box office movies since Julia Roberts’ famous 2010 Eat, Pray Love, about a woman taking to exploring India, Bali and Italy after a big life change. According to a recent PBS report, the majority of solo travellers are women and tour operators are striving to meet that demand.
TTC’s Women-only Tours fits that need. The small groups have been specially created for women, by women embarking on a solo adventure, whether it’s the first time or the fiftieth.
For women who want to broaden both perspective and palate. For women who want to follow their curiosity with confidence
The development of Insight Vacations’ Women-Only Tours comes after research with JourneyWoman, in which they surveyed over 1,000 female travelers. Results showed that 65% of those surveyed “look for tour companies that offer women-only tours or solo trips for women” while 43% “feel the travel industry ignores solo or older female travelers.”
"As a travel brand, we’re committed to inspiring inclusion today and every day which has led us to open more doors for women travelers,” says Melissa DaSilva, President of Insight Vacations, North America. “Our women-only tours, thoughtfully crafted by women for women, cater to travelers’ unique needs – be it exploring diverse cultures, conquering fears, or forging new friendships. Spanning five continents, these carefully curated journeys spare no details with plenty of options for solo travelers.
At Insight Vacations, we recognize the significance of listening to women's voices, and through these women-only trips, we hope to provide exceptional experiences that enable women to explore the world with confidence and curiosity.”
During the Country Roads of the Deep South tour, travelers can learn about the women’s civil rights movement including notable figures such as Frances Wright, Ida Be Wells, and the Lee Sisters during the Courageous Women Fighting for Women's Rights, Civil Rights and Justice for All Tour. The local specialist conducting the tour is also of great importance - Elaine Turner. Elaine Lee Turner has served the Memphis community in various capacities as an educator, civil rights activist, entrepreneur and historian. Guests on the Country Roads of Italy Tour will have the opportunity to meet with a weaving association in Perugia that’s owned and run by women, and on the Best of Morrocco Tour, travelers can attend a baking class at a women’s cooperative that empowers women to become professional chefs.
First tours depart in 2025. For full details on each of Insight Vacations’ new women-only tours and to avail of 8% off until 31st May 2024, visit: https://insightvacations.com/women-only
