Ever wonder who came up with the brilliant idea of girlfriend trips? Sadly, her name is lost in time, but the trend appears to have emerged around 2002 when the travel industry began to talk about these trips via books, articles, and specialized women-only tours. By 1993, girlfriends’ getaways were booming. “Women are taking knitting trips, adventure trips and spa trips,” said Stephanie Oswald Langlois, editor-in-chief of Travelgirl magazine, pointing to a 230% increase in women-focused getaways by the turn of the century.
April Merenda, co-founder of Gutsy Women Travel, is booking huge numbers of escapes for “time-pressed career women in their 30s and 40s,” and Susan Eckert, founder, and president of AdventureWomen, says that girlfriend getaways have established a cultural benchmark that academic researchers support. One study, published in the Journal of Leisure Research, is packed with evidence that girls’ getaways contribute dramatically to participants’ well-being, and the empowerment women feel after they return home can be striking.
