Women in Travel

The October edition of Leisure Group Travel is our largest issue of the year as we cross the country to bring you the latest trends in group travel. This month, LGT celebrates some of the top women in the travel industry who are helping to reimagine the group tour experience. With a combined work experience of more than 100 years, their advice is invaluable.

This issue also includes the Arkansas Group Travel Planner and the Missouri Group Tour Guide, two great publications that showcase the best food, attractions and stunning views that both states offer. LGT also heads to New York City, where we spotlight its incredible shopping venues and fascinating walking tours. We even travel to Alabama, Montana, Oklahoma, Michigan and Argentina in our quest to keep you informed and entertained.
