The #1 desire of many women, particularly once they become empty-nesters, is to see the world. Women over 55 have become one of the fastest growing audiences for travel. But what happens when some women do not have a partner with whom to share their travels?
The mission of The Women’s Travel Group is “To give women insightful travel experiences, as well as new travel friends with whom to share the memories. We see countries as our mutual destinies not just vacation destinations.” Their goals are:
- To exceed your travel expectations with unique experiences alongside area highlights.
- To help you appreciate the nuances of a society and country.
- To fill each day with anticipation, and each evening with friendly conversation.
- To leave you with a new world perspective, shared with new travel friends
The group specializes
in exotic destinations where women may not feel comfortable traveling on their own: China, India, Mongolia,Argentina, Chile,
Morocco, and others. Itineraries are designed to cover both highlights
and extras: such as new artsy districts in Beijing, a yoga lesson in
India, or extra time in souks in Marrakesh. Hotels and restaurants are
hand picked for comfort, safety, location and size of room. Trips cover
hidden sides of a country, often with outspoken speakers and private
visits to homes. All groups are accompanied by a guide and/or escort.
wants to experience the world, but is single, widowed, divorced or who has a husband who works all the
time and cannot travel as often as they would like. Please pass this post along to them and have them email me – they will surely thank you for it!
What a sensational idea! And how are you dear friend? I hope on the mend?
What a FABULOUS idea!!! We all know women have more fun:) I love this concept and can see it becoming huge…had no idea that particular demographic was the fastest growing, interesting! Looks like our crazy weather is finally just about done…hope you get out and enjoy the day!
What a fantastic idea, Genius actually, sometimes you just need a girlfriend to travel with. Women have a totally different view at times and it would just be super fun!
This is brilliant! What a great idea. I feel fortunate that my husbands wanderlust even exceeds mine, but if it didn't I would love to try this out!
What a wonderful group and idea! More power to women solo travelers.
We are bookmarking this, Sandy, for when the time comes where we can travel to our hearts content and leave the husbands at home! So great to see you today and looking forward to the 29th.
