So it's very reasonable value too once you're there, you know, for everything, for food, for accommodation and for doing trips and tours.

Yeah, no, women are traveling.

We are always the ones, we're the ones to make the decisions, we're the ones to spend the money, but we just don't get to earn the same amount, which is something we really need to look into.

And that might be another discussion.

Another discussion for another day.

But yes, no, women are phenomenal because here we are just better at being friends and we're better at organizing and we're better at getting out there.

So

What has happened here is we have our book clubs, our walking groups, we have our germ friends, we've all different friends from across different sectors.

And now what we're doing is we want to travel together and experience something.

So we don't really travel domestically that much in Ireland together.

So then there's a planned trip.

So if you're part of, say, a walking group, I know here there's a lot of women here that will go off and this would be of the 55, 65 plus population.

That's the highest growing market at the moment for travel and for tourism and it's all female led because women want to go, they want to have a nice time but also there is a great safety for women in travelling in groups.

So you have that element then that you can go off on a walking trip with your walking friends in a different country.

You know these people, you trust them impeccably but also you're there as a cohort and when you do travel in groups you can get better deals.

You know if you needed to get transfers in buses or in taxis and things like that or even cheaper accommodation because if there's more of you.

So

it can make sense as well too.

So it's great to see that there's that level of exploration for women trying so many different things and travel options.

Yeah, because you can have it both.
