In the past few years, women’s travel has become a burgeoning segment of the travel industry. More and more women are flocking to tours that are organized specifically for the fair sex. But who does this? And why?
Those are pretty common questions. A lot of women wonder if this could be for them, but they're uncertain about who else would be along. Who goes on these women-only trips, anyway? A new article on Connections for Women has the whole scoop.
C4W is a relatively new site, and you can see why it's getting so popular! It's free to register and have access to all the resources, so it's worthwhile checking it out. They have a broad array of articles for women, everything from finances to fitness, and mental health to the Mediterranean. Oh yeah, travel... that's where we came in! 
Solo travelers find such groups ideal. It’s easier, safer, and more fun, than going alone. The number of adult women in the US who are single is now greater than the number that are married, for the first time in history. Many of these women want to travel, and why let the lack of a husband stop you?
Of course you could go by yourself, but a lot of women don’t feel comfortable, or don’t enjoy, traveling alone. And if you burst out laughing when you’re dining at a table for one, others in the restaurant may look at you oddly!"

This is one of the most common areas of uncertainty for people new to our women-only travel tours. If you've ever wondered who goes on tours like this, or if you'd fit in, this article could help you out!

I just returned from a month long trip to Europe - by myself. It was a fabulous trip. It's great to be able to change plans once in transit without having the agreement (or disagreement) of a group of other travelers with you. You are free to spend your time as you wish. You have a feeling of accomplishment when you have made train connections, figured out the money system, made new friends in the process. This is not a venue for those who cannot stand being alone or don't know how to entertain themselves in an unfamiliar city. But for those of us who love to travel without restrictions of others, it is ideal.

I am not sure traveling alone is such a good idea. In Lake Tahoe where many young men and women come from all parts of the world and rent a cabin for their Tahoe accommodations say they would not consider traveling alone. Most all of these folks work at the many ski resorts during the winter and the boat docs during the summertime.

It is always best to travel with a buddy but not always an option. it is best to check with the local police department and ask if there are particular areas to be avoided.
