Twenty-five years ago when I started a business trip, there were very few other women in the early hours of the morning air shuttles. Women now represent almost 50% of business travelers and hotels around the world trying to figure out what to keep women happy. This is an important issue, because women are nearly twice as loyal to a hotel as men. He said a senior executive, the 70 tribes - 80 nights a year, "If I get a hotel that I think will make you feel welcome and safe, Ikeep coming back - even if it is slightly more expensive and farther away from my meeting. "
What do women want?
We apologize for the only one able to answer this question in terms of hotel stays, here are their / our best wishes ... Assuming that all the business requirements (fax, Internet connection in space and / or WiFi, meeting rooms, access to the press, business magazines in the room, etc.) have already been achieved.
1) Top NotchSecurity. Many women like the idea of a plan that can be achieved only with a key card, which has no plan at all feminine, but foreigners may not be able to access. In SDS, the women who are well lit, monitored parking intercom systems, parking and escort to the parking lot. Many hotels have their own pages escort women to their rooms late at night. The front desk staff, as they help women in rooms near the elevators, sodid not block down the corridors, shoot, especially those corners - and keep those numbers private room at check-in. It can be as simple as indicating the room number, instead of saying out loud.
2) Clean, fresh smelling room. Most hotels have these in your hand is good, but hotels a special effort to add women to meet women's magazines, fresh flowers and potpourri for the bathroom, when he filled the room. Cabinets are equipped with lots of hangers,including skirt and bodice and padded hangers ones, too. "Chick Flicks" are included in their film line-up, a hotel chain also offers yoga and guided imagery.
3) Inviting bathroom. Bathrooms women originally planned. They are far more than men, especially on this. This means that without bad hair (check the corners, such as women) to plan, not a grain in the tank or spots on the mirrors. Many hotels are the starting point for curved curtain rods installed so that theShower curtains can be away from your body (and are less likely to rot) are held. In addition to tastefully furnished, should be a good light (to put on make-up), a full-length mirror, door, electrical outlets, a curling iron and a good quality hair dryer with a cord long enough to allow for styling the mirror. Important for men and women: The shower should be the removal of too much pressure, wash the hair. It 'very frustrating (and not a good wayStarting the day) are trying to rinse long hair, if the hotel has installed a miser with water! Proprietor Note: The cleaning staff should be instructed to leave extra towels in the bathroom, whether it is a single female guests. Women need a towel for her hair, one for his body, another for your hands while applying make-up ... You get the picture, I'm sure.
4) services attractive. This means milled bath soaps, shampoos and conditioners that do not have a sports fragrance, and more oftenTowels, bathrobes, big and fluffy. Some spa hotels have introduced a line for their female guests in a very positive response.
5) closed cabinet "mini". Women travelers tell us they like having a mini-bar corresponds to needs such as panty hose (queen size bed and regular), tampons, panty liners - What you can not just run to pick up, if you do not need or unexpected.
6) sports centers. In addition to well-lit, well-protectedFitness equipment are a few hotels a jogging safely. Not only do women feel safe when they want to use the gym, they want to feel welcome. This means that the plant is kept clean, with towels, cold water, Kleenex and antibacterial sprays for the car handles well stocked. It also means, including exercise balls, mats and lighter weights in the equipment line-up.
7) Food and Be Finer. Women prefer the coffee or bistro-style restaurants, depending on the sportBars, as well as light meals, because they eat at a restaurant or room service to choose. Dining experience real, women may feel uncomfortable being reminiscent of the diner single state. "If someone wants to join you this evening?" is preferable to "eating alone?" There is a wall against women may feel more comfortable when eating alone - how can a little 'extra attention from the waiter. One idea is to create a single hotelDinner on the website, where guests eat with how someone can do. Or ask guests when they want to be connected with someone.
8) Last but not least, to be treated with courtesy and professionalism. Information for Hoteliers: women in their 40 years have the highest expectations for hotel service delivery - and yet the most likely second-class service from the staff (and yes, it takes this fact are statements that enroll more complaints, because they are getting picky!).Post your attention to some employees' pay more attention to this group, because they are less price sensitive and tend your property must be carried out by colleagues.
