Travel for women has changed significantly in recent times. It started slowly in the 80's with a few female travelers breaking off from the norm of city shopping tours and choosing the adventure route. They were ready for hiking, rafting, mountaineering and just about anything that could make them sweat.
The women pushed the demand list; they weren't carrying the kitchen and the cleaning bucket to their holiday; accommodation had to be comfortable, in short no roughing it up. For this they got some not-so-polite words being bashed on them but they had tough skins and they hanged on. What a turn around today - nearly every mainstream tour operator has a women travel desk proving that the girls had a point!
