South African Travel Womens club was founded in 1958 as a non-profit organsiation, and it was the exclusively male clubs that were the fashion at that time that led to its formation.  Constitutionally, this has remained unchanged since inception.

Approx. 200 members benefit from monthly lunches, which provide excellent networking opportunities for women in the travel industry.  These lunches also allow sponsors to market their products, directly to the travel industry on a one on one basis, and let’s not forget, monies raised at these lunches are donated to the sponsors choice of charity.

Today, Travelbags has become one of the largest clubs of its kind in South Africa, and its part affiliation to the International Federation of Women's Travel Organsiations (IFWTO) has put the club on the map on an internationally level.
