The Empowering Surge of 50+ Solo Woman Travelers

The world of travel is witnessing a remarkable trend: a surge in solo travel among women over 50 seeking adventure and self-discovery.

The article, Invisible no more: The rise of the 50+ solo woman traveler, unveils how these mature adventurers, like Rita Morgan, are defying stereotypes, embarking on journeys that challenge them physically and spiritually. After retiring, Morgan transformed her life into a series of global adventures, embodying the spirit of this movement.

Rita Morgan isn’t alone. The number of solo female travelers over 50 is growing, yet the travel industry isn’t keeping pace. Canadian travel publication JourneyWoman™ conducted a survey finding that 70 percent of respondents over 50 feel ignored and undervalued by the travel industry. The same survey found that 96% of these women are the main decision-makers for travel in their homes, showing they have both the interest and financial means to pursue adventurous trips worldwide.

This demographic proves that adventure knows no age limit. Despite facing an industry slow to recognize their needs, the women featured in this article are carving out their space, demanding visibility and services that cater to their adventurous spirits.

The good news is that some companies recognize the need for women's travel options. Wild Women Expeditions has responded by offering tailored adventure trips around the globe that cater specifically to the adventurous souls of 50+ women, recognizing their desire for thrilling, bucket-list experiences without the hassle of planning or the burden of solo travel costs.

As these women traverse the globe, from the Swiss Alps to remote villages, they're not just traveling but redefining what it means to be a woman traveler in midlife. Their journeys are a testament to the joy, freedom, and empowerment that come with stepping out of their comfort zone, inspiring a new generation of travelers to explore the world on their own terms.
