This blog posting will be one of a continuing series of posts that deal with Travel Safety. It is applicable to all employees whether you have no travel experience or you are an experienced traveler needing a good reminder.
This posting concerns mainly hotel safety when traveling. The first area of concern is booking the hotel:
1. When choosing a hotel, stick with National Hotel Chains. These normally include interior room entrances which are much safer than an outside, motel-type of entrance.
2. Also inquire with the hotel if there is a reception desk or concierge area near the front entrance. These tend to deter potential criminals.
Upon arrival at the hotel:
3. Use the valet parking whenever it is available and you are arriving or leaving at night. If this is not available, park your car in a well-light area that is located near the front entrance of the hotel.
Once in your room:
4. Place the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door in order to discourage anyone from entering.
5. Keep your cell phone on at all times. It is a good idea to have 911 and alternative emergency numbers programmed into a speed dial.
6. If you order any take-out or delivery food, have the person deliver your items to the front desk instead of to your own room.
You can help ensure smooth and safe travels by being alert and prepared. Take a look at these tips to help keep you safe while on vacation.
