Businesswomen have been advised by a Warwickshire
company on how to avoid danger when travelling
alone.
Travel
Management, in Leamington has been offering,
via its website, tips ranging from where to
sit on am aircraft and choosing hotel rooms.
The company, which has a turnover approaching
£50 million, said research showed women did
not want positive discrimination but appreciated
sensitivity to their needs.
It followed industry reports that women spent
more than £1 billion a year on hotel accommodation
and predictions that women would account for
half of business travellers this year.
Sarah Williams, marketing manager for Travel
Management said "Our advice is simple but
effective. Being a business traveller myself,
I am aware of all the problems that can be faced
as a lone women traveller. Information on our
website acts as a checklist for both seasoned
travellers and those who are new to business
travel. It is not prescriptive but a sensible
reminder of ways to enhance business travel."
