Phyllis Stoller
Phyllis Stoller has a BA from Tufts University (History), MA from New York University (Political Science) and a Finance Degree from the University of the South Bank, London England. She has lived and worked in England, France and Switzerland and resides in New York.
Phyllis was an international corporate banker, before starting her own business. The idea for the women’s tour company came from her need to find travel friends. Her first company became the national leader in women’s travel and Phyllis was recognized as Top in Women’s Travel by Travel & Leisure Magazine. The company was acquired in 2006 and Phyllis subsequently restarted as The Women’s Travel Group works with travel agents and is a strategic partner of Sky Vacations.
Phyllis specializes in smart tours with speakers and insightful itineraries for women. She believes women’s tours should see the country not the carpet emporium and listen to insightful speakers not jewelry hawkers.
Arthur Frommer recently described The Women’s Travel Group as a valuable asset for women who want to travel with other women.
PS Phyllis appears in Fun with Dick and Jane as the travel agent; the movie was written by her son!
