Our research shows that solo women over 55 are driving growth in women’s tours. The survey, conducted among JourneyWoman’s global tour operator network in August 2022, shows that over 77% of all bookings in 2022 came from female solo travellers age 55+. Respondents noted that 73% of guests were experienced solo travellers and 53% were first-time solo travellers.
Growth is being driven by Gen X and Baby Boomers, the majority of whom are making booking decisions in a 4-6 month window. The survey also revealed a higher propensity for faster decision making, with 60% of bookings made between two and six months.Are you a women-owned business?
