Top five Golden rules for female travellers
With 45 percent of woman making up the corporate travel
market, International SOS has identified five golden rules to help woman keep
safe when travelling for business.
Rule number one: Know Yourself
Understanding your profile and how that profile may be
perceived when you travel is vital. Key areas to consider include your physical
appearance, travel experience, personality type and budget.
Rule number two: Do your research
Don’t assume, do your research before you travel and know
the geography of the city you are visiting, plus be aware of any cultural
differences.
Rule number three: Don’t be an easy target
Plan your flights so you arrive in the daytime especially if
you are planning to catch a taxi and always use official taxis.
Rule number four: Be assertive
Be confident as appearing unfamiliar can make you a
potential target. Trust your instincts, if something doesn’t feel right
it probably isn’t.
Rule number five: Stay calm in a crisis
