In Partnership with Park Hyatt Busan

At NomadHer, we believe that solo travel is a transformative tool for women’s empowerment, independence, and self-discovery. For years, we have cultivated a global community of women who embrace travel as a way to connect with themselves and others. But ensuring that these journeys are safe, seamless, and truly empowering requires collaboration with like-minded partners. This is why we are honored to join forces with Park Hyatt Busan - a brand that embodies premium hospitality, inclusivity, and a commitment to women’s leadership.

From the outset, Park Hyatt Busan’s approach went far beyond traditional sponsorship. They demonstrated a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities in solo female travel, sharing NomadHer’s vision of making the world a more welcoming place for women to explore. Through this collaboration, we are creating an elevated solo female travel experience - one that is safe, inspiring, and rich in community.

For NomadHer, this deeply resonated with our mission of empowering women to travel freely, knowing they have the support and infrastructure to do so with confidence.

🌊 Busan as a Destination for Women Travelers

They shared how Busan offers a unique experience for women travelers—a city where adventure meets tranquility, where the sea and vibrant culture create a welcoming environment. With its stunning coastline, strong sense of community, and rich traditions led by women—from Haenyeo (female divers) to female entrepreneurs—Busan is an ideal place for solo female travelers.

Both Roman and Doyeon emphasized Park Hyatt Busan’s dedication to working with local female entrepreneurs, artisans, and community-driven initiatives. Whether it’s partnering with women-run wellness programs, sourcing from led markets, or collaborating with traditional Haenyeo divers, their goal is to ensure that tourism directly benefits and uplifts the local workforce.
