How to ensure safe travel -- tips for women travelers
India is home to some of the most
incredible landmarks. It’s magical, awesomely confusing, and jaw-dropping. It
really should be on everyone’s bucket list. Here is a list of things every
woman must check to ensure safe travels because I believe that even if women steer clear of risky small time resorts or if they
don’t speak local language or even if they’re traveling alone it is absolutely
possible for women to travel safely. For today’s
women, travel is a necessary tool for growth and discovery, made incredibly
easy and safe with technology. Safety and security are important factors in the
guests’ selection of a hotel. Hoteliers normally follow local regulations when
designing a hotel's safety and security systems, but which system features
hotel guests perceive to be the most important and which they expect to find in
place remain open questions. But there are some things that women travellers
can do on their own to ensure that their hotel stay and the entire travel is
100 percent safe, here are some tips for women travellers to ensure safety
first:
Research,
research, research:
Born in the lap of technology, our new age Indian women evolve with smartphones
in one hand and ultra-fast internet in the other, creating a perfect
opportunity for them to research before they actually move out to travel. One
can also choose to crowdsource their research more pool of insights to choose
from

travel and pre-booked hotels: The safest way for women travelers to
have fun is to make a little extra of their work trips. When an office books a
hotel for a travel trip, rest assured that they will book a safe hotel, villa,
resort or even an apartment. Moreover, today millennial and Gen Z women travel to exotic destinations for work and stay an extra few days only to
submerge themselves in the local culture and experience something new. Wouldn’t
it be a crime not to unwind on a beach or explore an unknown city’s foodscape
after that important conference? Not to mention a wasted opportunity to spice
up the Instagram feed or update Facebook profile picture
Check for multiple reviews: (both via
friends and family and via online forums too) I strongly suggest that women
must check reviews online of the actual hotel or villa and the neighbourhood
it's in, so one can see which areas seem safe. Also one must not forget to
check verbally with their friends and close ones. Word of mouth is also often a
reliable source of information. Also, there are lots of great networks to
connect female travelers all around the world. One can ask them about the
customs and things to do in their area or even make plans to meet up
Always and always share your itinerary with someone back home: We all love solo travels but
I strongly recommend that before one moves out, we must share our itinerary
with at least one person who's not traveling with the traveller. Someone back
home must have a general idea of where the traveller will be and when in case
something goes wrong or they need to get in touch with them
Inspect the room: Last but not the
least, before one unpacks, I recommend inspecting the room to make sure all
windows and doors have functioning locks
