Inspiring Vacations unveils new ‘Inspired Women’ small-group tours, a collection of five itineraries featuring sightseeing highlights, special experiences and supporting female-first businesses in Asia, with departures from September 2026.
Travellers will meet a range of inspiring local women in India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Japan and South Korea on 10- to 15-day small-group tours led by female tour leaders with a maximum of 16 to 20 travellers.
Itineraries include a 13-day Inspired South Korea & Japan – A Women’s Only Journey, where travellers can meet a female North Korean defector and South Korea’s free-diving female Haeyneo.
Other women’s only journeys include a 14-day Inspired Sri Lanka itinerary, featuring wellness, culture and art, and a 15-day Inspired India small-group tour, which includes several women-led businesses.
The 10-day Inspired Vietnam itinerary includes a visit to a Hanoi social enterprise and cooking school, and the 13-day Inspired Vietnam & Sapa small-group tour features immersive experiences with women in Red Dao and Hmong communities.
With itineraries and activities centred around wellness, connection and culture, Inspiring Vacations Head of Global Product Peita Davis said the new range includes daily breakfast and select meals (including welcome and farewell dinners), hotel accommodation, select transport and sightseeing.
“Our Inspired Women’s range is curated to showcase inspirational women around the globe and inspire our female travellers to engage with the global community,” she said.
“Each journey is thoughtfully guided by female tour leaders and combines must-see highlights with authentic local encounters that reveal the lives and stories of women around the world.”
Most tours also feature airport transfers and traditional accommodation, such as a Korean hanok or Japanese ryokan. Prices per person are based on twin-share accommodation with paired solo options available where solo travellers are paired with another female traveller.
Inspiring Vacations CEO & Co-Founder Paul Ryan said the paired solo option has proved popular among previous guests as a great way to forge lasting friendships and encourage connection. The Australian-owned tour company will also launch Solo Journeys in 2026 to cater for demand.
“The Inspired Women’s range was created in response to our customer feedback and demand. Each tour is a great way to dive deeper into the destination and forge a kinship with like-minded travellers,” he said.
