Did you know that 80% of travel decisions are made by women and that 75% of adventure and cultural trips are taken by women?  In fact, the average adventure traveler is a 47-year old female in a size 12 dress! Last year, women in the United States took 32 million trips and some estimate that women will spend $125 billion in travel next year. The numbers clearly show that women are major players in the travel industry!

A select group of tour companies and destinations have been invited to display their information at Women & Wanderlust and representatives will be available to answer your questions. Confirmed destinations include the Tourist Office of Spain, Italian Days, JG Black Book of Travel, and Rock Hall.
