Business Travel With a Touch of Girl Power

BBC Travel wrote an article titled, “Business Travel Gets a Female Touch.” It was inspired by an increased female presence in travel for business.  Some hotels have recognized this increase, and have created “female-only hotel amenities and transportation options.” For example, one hotel in Houston, Texas, offers a women-only floor with features including yoga mats, jewelry boxes and a make-up kit.


I’m not sure that a women-only floor is absolutely necessary—makes me think of all girls schools.  However, it's a nice option for anyone who would prefer it, or who would feel safer on a women only floor.  Other hotels offer a yoga mat amenity, but that doesn't seem like it should be a  "female" amenity.  Men do yoga, too.

One thing I find particularly meaningful, is that in Dubai, women can hail a pink roofed cab, to ensure that the driver is female. Safety is a huge concern for women, and I think this is a great option. 

We’ve come so far climbing corporate ladders, racing fast cars with the boys, and paving paths for future generations, but it’s still very much a man’s world.  So, business travel with a "female touch" is certainly a step forward in inclusivity and gender equality in the work place.

Here’s the article, if you’re interested in reading a little more about it.
