I don't think it's the con, really. I mean, it's not the billion dollar industry that the hotels are. While the hotels proclaim to enjoy the con - the revenue, at least - they don't necessarily agree with what goes on. The hotels will have to be open-minded enough to take serious consideration into the unsafe environment created. Because I don't know about anyone else, but when I go on vacation I look at former stays in the same company. If I remember something unfavorably, I'll stop spending money there and go to the next place.
Right now, the country is becoming somewhat...unsafe to be a woman in case something does happen. It's harder to protect oneself afterwards in the legal sense. I'm giving 2011 a chance for the hotels to show me they're paying close enough attention to the serious repercussions. (And that includes any sort of violence, not simply female assaults.) If they don't...well, I might DCTV but I can live without it. And the convenience for the sake of feeling secure in the fact my money's as good as the next person's when it comes to my safety. I can hope a MARTA like I did in 2006 and bring my own food/drinks.
