“Female travel” generally refers to travel experiences and considerations specifically tailored for women. This may include travel tips, destinations, and accommodations that focus on women’s safety, preferences, and interests.

Some services and platforms cater exclusively to female travelers, providing a supportive and secure environment for their journeys. This niche in the travel industry recognizes the unique needs and experiences of women exploring the world.

The Women’s Travel Group and Staying Afloat Blog announce the results of the first survey quantifying female Spending on Travel by age. The survey covers budget, group size, travel research, duration, inclusions, splurges, and more. It is useful for tour companies and travel agents in their post-pandemic planning. f

Some of the surprising results are: female travel

• Older women look for small groups with budget splurges used for experiences and tours. Younger women are keener on friends and family groups and splurge on food experiences. Neither group mentioned an interest in shopping as part of travel.
• All ages plan some of their own travel; the 65+ group combines self-planning with professional help.
• Not surprisingly, 81% of those surveyed use, in this order: books (39%), movies (28%), and podcasts (13%) for travel information.
• The most popular was one-week-long travel. Boomers want longer vacations than other groups. Boomer travel budgets were the biggest, more than millennials.
