Contiki highlights female-led travel experiences to mark International Women’s Day

Contiki has revealed six of its most empowering female-led travel experiences ahead of International Women’s Day. 

All of the Make Travel Matter trips organised by the specialist operator for those aged 18 to 35 can be booked by travel agents.

The tours include India, Jordan, Laos, Morocco, New Zealand and Peru.

Contiki sustainability officer Tasha Hayes said: “Make Travel Matter experiences give our travellers the opportunity to make a positive social or environmental impact on the communities and places we visit.

“For many of the destinations we visit women and girls aren’t afforded the same rights or opportunities as our travellers would in their own countries.

“Therefore, any opportunity to support or promote a female led business or initiative is genuinely important alongside being an excellent learning opportunity for our travellers.

“We seek to demonstrate the great community benefit from travel and tourism while in turn educating our travellers on pressing global issues like women’s rights.

“Most importantly it’s about highlighting  the actions being taken to address these issues and what they can do as advocates after finishing their Contiki trip.”
