Promoting safer travel for women
Approximately 60 million people travel alone each year (Travel guardian) and many of these people are women. Travelling alone can be a daunting prospect for many women and concerns over safety maybe a primary concern.
Here are some safety tips:

- Book hotel rooms on a floor other than the ground floor,preferably without a balcony to prevent easy access to intruders
- Always keep windows and doors locked and do check before you go to Sleep at night.
- Try wearing a money belt rather carrying a sophisticated handbag that can easily be snatched.Especially when you leave it on the floor next to your table when having a meal.
- Its safer to use a licensed taxi or taxi recommended by your hotel or Travel company representative and do book ahead if you can.
- Avoid conversation, eye contact and move away from unwanted advances.
- Try to dress conservatively to draw away from the fact that you are a tourist.
