Abstract

Individual travelling is becoming more popular among the ladies worldwide, yet up to now, there is no apposite knowledge of its impact on their individual growth and psychological health. This paper will look at how solo travel has affected women and look at different sources that include academic research, news articles, personal blogs, and social media post. Women always like to travel alone in order to be happier, to acquire new experience, feel confident and feel better about themselves. Through this study, it is seen that the women would be able to confront their fears and would feel more independent as well as become more confident by traveling on their own on a regular and longer basis. It is with such experiences that women are able to build up the level of confidence, derive greater happiness and feel more satisfaction which lingers even after the trip is completed. This paper describes that travelling alone is not merely a pleasure undertaking, it is also a significant factor in creating an independent setting of a woman and as well enhancing the general well being of a community. This paper also justifies why tourist attraction sites should offer a safer and more conducive places to such women who travel alone. Altogether, solo travelling contributes to the empowerment of the women as it can assist in the enhancement of their personality, their confidence, and their satisfaction with their life despite both difficulties and benefits.
