to avoid any sort of chaos.
5. There should be a spare room that must be permanently booked for females where
they can rest on days when it’s hard to handle physical stuff because of their ongoing
pain.

20. Conclusion
1. Security of guest and her property is of great concern for the hotel-
When a guest is arriving to the hotel for staying a day or two, it ought to be his/her
best and safest stay. But not only the guest is of concern but his/her property and
belongings also matter to hotel.
1. Not only guest & his/her property is of great concern of the hotel -
So it’s not just the guest who needs a safer place to reside in but employees also
belong to the hotel and they also require their place to be safer, secure and sometimes
eco-friendly too.
1. Single women stay should be of high concerned in every hotel-
Whenever there’s a single woman or a individual group of women traveling and
staying inside the hotel they ought to be allotted rooms on same floors with a female
warden to make sure they have a safe and secure stay.

21. 4. Every staff should be trained and properly explained about all the safety rules and
regulations- Staff training should begins with an orientation about safety rules and
regulation, which should include the presentation of the hotels safety philosophy
during orientation, and everyone should participate in ongoing safety education
program at least once in a month.
5. Cab drivers should properly be trained and talked thoroughly to coordinate with the
female employes.
6. Every driver should properly be trained under security persona to fulfill their duties
no matter what, they should drop the female employee to their respective place
safely.
