"Women-Led Travel: A Growing Trend in 2025"

With increasing financial independence, women are taking charge of travel planning—making up 82% of all travel decisions. From solo adventures to women-only group trips, female-led travel is on the rise.

The Rise of Female Travelers

Women now account for over 64% of global travelers, and solo female travel is seeing a surge. According to Skift Research’s 2024 The Woman Traveler report, nearly 40% of female travelers plan to take a solo trip in 2025. This trend grows with age, as 21% of women over 55 prefer traveling alone rather than with family.

"Solo travel as a woman is an empowering act of self-discovery," says Lauran Peoples, a travel expert from Canada. "Each journey strengthens my confidence and independence."

Women are prioritizing destinations known for safety, freedom, and inclusivity. Searches for “solo female travel” have skyrocketed by 1,000% in the past decade, reflecting a shift in how women explore the world.

Best Destinations for Solo Female Travelers

Safety remains a top concern, with 66% of solo female travelers ranking it as their biggest consideration. The safest destinations include:

• Japan – Known for its low crime rate, women-only train cars, and female-focused accommodations, Japan ranks as the top choice for solo female travelers.
• New Zealand – Travelers rave about its welcoming community and breathtaking landscapes, making it a perfect spot for independent exploration.
• Spain, Australia, the UK, and Nordic countries – These destinations consistently rank high for safety and solo travel experiences.

To further support women-owned businesses, Wanderful, a leading female travel community, has launched a global city guide featuring women-led hotels, cafes, and shops.

Women-Only Group Travel is Booming

Beyond solo travel, female-only group trips are becoming increasingly popular. Women enjoy the camaraderie, shared experiences, and the freedom to explore on their own terms.

"Traveling with women is different—we embrace spontaneity, adventure, and laughter," says frequent traveler Kimberlee Lauer. "There's a special bond that makes these experiences unforgettable."

As the female-first travel movement grows, more women are redefining what it means to explore the world—on their own terms, with confidence, and in good company.
