Travel Tips for Road Warriors--and Hoteliers

[Carol Margolis]

I had a dream that it was already the end of 2010 and I was looking back at my year of travel. What I saw in my dream was a year where the travel industry really focused on female travelers.

I can feel the thick shampoo in my hair, the luxurious towels, a scent of lavender emanating from my plush pillow. I am healthier and fitter than I’ve ever been thanks to the Pilates and Yoga classes offered by hotels and the nutritional food enjoyed from hotel restaurants and mini-bars. I have numerous friends I have met through wine and food tastings, travel meet-ups and other events that hotels hosted to extract me and other women guests out of our hotel rooms at night. And the hotel’s security team has been wonderful in escorting me to my room when I arrived late in the evenings.

What a great dream. And dreams are meant to come true, aren’t they?

Some of these dream items came from my talk with Julie Moline of Women Entrepreneur magazine, so they’ve been on my mind a lot :-) Read more on Travel Tips for Road Warriors--and Hoteliers.

Nicely done, Carol! What grade would you give the industry at the moment on this count?
