| What makes a hotel's safety and security so important to me when I'm visiting outside the United States ? |
- Although there are the usual safety concerns in the our country, many hotels outside the United States would not pass building and safety standards applied to hotels here. Check to see if foreign hotels have fire alarms, sprinkler systems and emergency exits. You’ll also want to find out what type of bathrooms are available. Often might be expected to share a common restroom. In some more backward countries, some toilets will look more like a hole in the floor than a toilet.
