“Gal getaways are as hot as the hunky plumber on TV’s Desperate Housewives.”, writes USA TODAY reporter Kitty Bean Yancey.  She goes on to say:

“In fact, a recent survey of 1,500 women by L.A.-based Impulse Research found that nearly 50% had taken an all-female trip in the past three years and that 88% had plans for another or would like to go on a no-men-allowed getaway.”

Girls-only trips have gotten the attention of the travel industry and we’re seeing more travel opportunities tailored towards women.  For those who like packaged tours, there are several companies offering women-only tours: Women & Wine, Adventures in Good Company, Women Traveling Together and Women Tours to name just a few.
