Recent trends have shown an increase in the number of solo woman travellers in the country. While, this definitely points towards a more progressive evolution of the society, safety in addition to amenities still remain a concern for most women travelling solo. A lot of research is focused on safe destinations while a woman plans her travel.
In a space cluttered with various options to travel by, eat in and stay, hostels are much safer than any other accommodation options for women. “Centered around community, hostels are spaces specifically built for youngsters. They are safe as there are always a lot of people around (depending on the size of the hostel) and they mostly choose to remain in the common areas instead of being tucked away in their rooms and dorms,” says Pallavi Agarwal, Founder & CEO of goSTOPS.
It is this feeling of community and belonging that makes hostels a safe space for women travellers. The concept of female-only dorms also makes them a safe option especially for solo women travellers.
