Chickable, a start-up company focused on the women travel market, has just announced the launch of its free women-only travel service at www.Chickable.com. The website is where girlfriends old and new can connect to travel for a night, a weekend or an extended vacation. According to the homepage, a woman is “chickable” if she is a fun and likeable travel companion.

A recent travel study, conducted in part by AAA, revealed that not only are chick trips growing in popularity but forty percent of American women plan to take a chick trip in the near future. Studies also indicate that, when compared to men, women experience a larger amount of pressure at work and at home. For this reason Chickable also raises awareness on the benefits of women-only trips as a coping mechanism for stress.

“Along with being exciting and fun, a women-only trip brings about the kind of supportive talk that can only occur far away from the ears of men,” explains Maria Salvaggio, Founder of Chickable. “As a result, it has a natural calming effect on women and is ultimately a fulfilling experience. More women need to realize “Life’s a Chick Trip”™ and seek the support of girlfriends not only on trips but during life’s stressful times as well.

Why is women-only travel growing in popularity? The driving force behind this trend is the growing financial and cultural independence of modern women. Not only do women earn, own and spend more than ever before, they also stay single longer and end unfulfilling relationships sooner. As a result, they are experiencing a fundamental change in lifestyle and are spending more time and money on themselves. And one of the hottest self-fulfilling activities for such women is women-only travel. As this form of travel continues to go mainstream, a growing number of women want the overall process to be more intuitive, enjoyable and convenient while a growing number of travel companies want it to be more profitable.

Currently, few dedicated women-only travel sites exist to connect the growing demand for the women-only travel experience with the growing supply of women-only travel packages. Chickable plans to be a significant mover in this space by establishing itself as a leading online provider of women-only travel products, services and content. The company will help grow this space by creating a single destination web portal powered by six free services – Girlfriend Finder, Getaway Finder, Getaway Groups, Getaway Gallery, Getaway Guide and Getaway Gear.

To promote this launch, Chickable is offering registered members a chance to win a chick trip.
