Inspiring Vacations has partnered with inspiring women in some of its key destinations to offer a new range of tours exclusively for women. Each itinerary includes a female tour leader and provides travellers the opportunity to engage with inspiring women in each country, all with a unique story to share.
The ‘Inspired Women’ tour range offers travellers the opportunity to enjoy regular sightseeing highlights alongside experiencing unique activities, supporting female-first businesses in India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Japan and South Korea.
Peita Davis, Head of Global Product at Inspiring Vacations, said: “Our Inspired Women’s range is curated to showcase inspirational women around the globe and inspire our female travellers to engage with the global community. Each journey is thoughtfully guided by female tour leaders, and combines must-see highlights with authentic local encounters that reveal the lives and stories of women around the world.”
With itineraries and activities centered around wellness, connection, and culture, the new range includes: daily breakfast and select other meals (including welcome and farewell dinners); female tour leaders; hotel accommodation; a small group format with a maximum of 16 to 20 travellers depending on destination; select transportation; and in-depth sightseeing. Most tours also feature airport transfers and traditional accommodation experiences (such as a Korean Hanok or Japanese Ryokan).
Paul Ryan, CEO and Co-founder of Inspiring Vacations, said: “I’m thrilled to be part of yet another exciting new range thoughtfully designed for our valued female customers. To further encourage connection between travellers, each Inspiring Women tour also offers paired solo options. This is a popular choice for many of our customers and is often cited by previous travellers as a great way of forging lasting friendships. The Inspired Women’s range was created in response to our customer feedback and demand, and each tour is a great way to dive deeper into the destination and forge a kinship with like-minded travellers.”
