It is permissible to travel for the purpose of da‘wah (inviting to Islam), provided that there is segregation between men and women, or that a barrier is present. It is not permissible for a man to directly invite immodestly dressed women; due to the impermissibility of looking at their awrah (private parts). They can be invited through their mahrams (unmarriageable relatives) or through female Muslim callers to Islam.
