Backroads Celebrates Mother's Day with New Women's Adventures for 2027

Backroads, a pioneer in active travel, has embraced the spirit of Mother's Day by announcing ten new trips within their acclaimed Women's Adventures collection set for 2027. This initiative features a diverse range of journeys, including exciting hiking experiences in New Zealand, picturesque trails in the Alps, a unique Active Culinary tour in the Bordeaux and Dordogne regions of France, and an unforgettable hiking expedition spanning three countries on the iconic Tour du Mont Blanc.

Since the launch of the Women's Adventures series in 2024, the segment has grown exponentially, witnessing a staggering 170% growth. This collection now boasts over 70 unique trips across 32 countries, catering to women travelers' ever-increasing demand for engaging and empowering travel experiences. Women of all ages are drawn to this collection, seeking to bond with others while exploring stunning landscapes and immersing themselves in diverse cultures.

The rise in popularity of these women-only trips reflects a broader trend where women travelers prioritize independence, meaningful connections, and immersive outdoor activities. "Exploring breathtaking coastlines, hiking through legendary landscapes, and unwinding at luxurious hotels are just part of the charm these adventures offer," says Avery Hale Smith, Chief Experience Officer at Backroads. The camaraderie formed among participants creates a welcoming atmosphere, often leading women to book their next trips before the current adventure has even concluded, frequently with newfound friends made along the way.

In homage to Mother's Day, Backroads is emphasizing its Women's Adventures as a perfect way to recognize the remarkable women in our lives, presenting unique opportunities to share experiences filled with exploration, companionship, and relaxation.
