Women Travel Tribe Expands Offerings for 2026

As travel evolves, Women Travel Tribe (WTT) is stepping up to meet the growing demand among women over 50 for enriching travel experiences. With plans to launch 50 unique trips in 2026, the organization is set to triple its offerings, responding to an enthusiastic community that has expanded to over 12,000 women strong.

Founded by Janet Jaffe, WTT emphasizes the importance of connectivity and sisterhood in travel. “We've witnessed firsthand that women want more than just a vacation; they seek a sense of belonging,” Jaffe explains. With tours selling out quickly, the message is clear: mature women desire experiences that not only allow them to explore new places but also enable them to connect meaningfully with others.

The itineraries for 2026 incorporate diverse locations including Ireland, Scotland, Kenya, and Croatia, paired alongside enriched favorites like Vietnam, the Galapagos Islands, Romania, and Peru. This expansion reflects broader travel trends highlighting that women aged 55 and above now account for over 40% of female travelers, contributing significantly to the travel economy with spending exceeding $245 billion annually.

According to JourneyWoman's 2024 report, motivations for travel among this demographic often include navigating life transitions and a longing for deeper connections with others.

Intimate and Authentic Experience

WTT designs their tours with smaller groups of 8 to 12 women, promoting intimate connections and fostering an environment where participants can truly immerse themselves in local cultures. Each trip features opportunities to engage with local artisans, chefs, families, and entrepreneurs, offering participants not just a visit, but a holistic experience enriched by cultural interaction.

Accommodations are locally owned boutique establishments, ensuring that the experience remains personal and supportive. WTT creates a welcoming space where women can feel safe, seen, and appreciated.

Travelers like Cindy Sorenson have praised WTT’s approach. “Traveling with Women Travel Tribe has been life-changing. I’ve met inspiring women on each of my trips, and we stay connected, planning future adventures together,” shares Sorenson, reflecting the strong bonds formed on these journeys.

The Transformative Power of Connection

The social dynamics within WTT trips are remarkable, with tour leader Luna Rodriguez noting the transformation in participants. “On Day 1, women may be strangers, but by Day 10, they’re laughing and supporting each other, already planning their next adventures as friends,” she describes.

This community-building aspect is a pivotal part of the WTT experience, making travel not just about destinations, but the relationships developed along the way.

As 2026 approaches, WTT continues to adapt and expand its offerings, meeting the desires of women who are hungry for more than just sightseeing. They seek to forge connections, broaden their horizons, and enrich their lives through travel.
