| Abstract: | This paper aims at profiling solo independent (here as: s.i.) women travellers in Tropical North Queensland, describing their key motivations for travel and behaviours, and locating this group on a typology of s.i. travellers in Australia. Based on on visitor surveys completed over 21 months at Cairns Airport (n=2,618), the results indicated that s.i. women travellers (n=228) felt safe in the destination, participating in a wide variety of activities including those with some degree of risk. |
