HerBusiness CEO Suzi Dafnis was featured in the May Sydney Morning Herals article titled “Frequent Flying Females” by David Flynn. The article details females in Business class with suggestions and comments on the introduction of female only toilets on aircrafts, and female only floors in hotels.
“According to Roy Morgan Research, 35 per cent of Australia’s estimated 2.1 million domestic business travellers – people who’ve made at least one business trip by aircraft within Australia in the last 12 months – are women.”
And while a handful of airlines are moving towards unisex inflight amenity kits, Virgin’s female amenity kits for international business class include make-up wipes and a hairbrush. Some hotels are even opening women-only floors from which all men – not just guests but male porters and room service staff – are barred. We think that this is a great idea for businesswomen, making us feel safer and more at home, when we are away staying in hotels. This is a great idea for hotels and aircraft brands to appeal to a growing target audience.
“Women-only floors can be a good idea in cities where women may feel vulnerable when travelling alone” suggests Suzi Dafnis, CEO, HerBusiness.
