Travel Safety Tips For Women Travelers

[aaren34]

Hi

CHOOSING A HOTEL

1. Smaller is smarter: you want the staff to be familiar with guests and with you. The smaller the lobby, the more noticeable the loiterers.
2. Aim for a well-trafficked street (neighborhood restaurants and late-night stores mean traffic, corporate offices mean darkness). Affluent residential areas tend to have more reliable transportation and fewer threatening street people.
3. If you're still concerned about the area, ask a female employee--not one in reservations--whether she walks around at night. (Call the restaurant, for instance.)
4. A reception and concierge desk near the entrance, and/or the elevators, is more likely to deter non-guest undesirables.
5. There should be privacy for guests checking in: no one should be able to overhear a name, room number, or other personal information.
6.Room numbers should be written on the key envelope, not mentioned aloud or inscribed on the key--this way, anyone finding your key won't have access to your room.
7. Look for a parking lot that is well lit and secure. Find out if there's valet parking . . . and if it will be available when you need it. Use it, even it costs a little bit more.

Keep sharing and reading

Thanks

Sounds frightening huh??? I guess for women solo travel its brings joys and challenges. It can be an extraordinary experience to go where you want and meet new people along the way

Thats what rather confuses me too why it's always "advice for single female travellers". Never makes much sense as anyone travelling should be a little wary in unknown places, and especially if you're on your own. Suspect the original was a copy/paste job, but this does seem to be a theme.

It may be a misguided, outdated, and counter-productive attempt by industry professional to tap a new market.

However, lots of women travel alone or with other women for business and vacation, and all 'travel tips for women' will do is inspire suspicion and a disinclination to travel.

I wonder how much travel patterns for women have changed in the last 50 or so years, and how they break down by age and nationality.

We found some great safety tips for women travelers

* Study a map before going out; once on the street, use a pocket-size guidebook to avoid looking like a tourist. Your hotel's concierge or a female employee can mark any dangerous areas on your map.

* Avoid jewelry--even a chain that's fake gold can be ripped off your neck. Do consider wearing a wedding ring.

* Talk to female passengers and flight attendants on the plane about the safety of your destination.

* In public rest rooms, use the corner stall.

* Stand near the elevator buttons with your back to the wall; if threatened, push all the buttons at once with your back.

* Request one near the elevators and away from any renovation work. Have your key out when you leave the elevator.
