Women travellers are on the rise, particularly to Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore and Bali, according to the 2007 MasterCard survey. Four out of every 10 Asia-Pacific trips are made by women, compared with one in 10 in the mid-1970s, the survey found. It also showed that 42 percent of women taking part in the survey had travelled in the last 12 months, compared with 37 percent of men.
