Travel Tips

Hats off to Wyndham Hotels for establishing the "Women on Their Way" (WOTW) program to cater to the needs of women business travelers. The WOTW program, which was established in 1995, solicits and responds to feedback from women regarding amenities and services, using the information obtained to improve the hotel experience for other women business travelers as well as for all of its customers. Recently, the WOTW program has expanded to research and promote, within the entire hospitality/meeting industry, techniques to cater to women's particular travel needs and to assist in event planning in such a way as to ensure success, thereby bolstering the careers of professional women. The WOTW program offers a free electronic newsletter and a website (http://www.wyndham.com/WOTW/womenprefer/default.shtml) offering tips by/for women professionals on work/life balance; networking; looking professional, yet remaining comfortable; packing; staying safe; attitude improvement, etc. Access can also be obtained via http://www.wyndham.com/WOTW/traveltips/default.cfm. Last, but not least, Wyndham also offers a book club for professional women with book reviews updated monthly and links to prior reviews.
