Women sacrificing life long female friendships for the men in their lives

Vibe Hotels Comes To The Rescue With A Girls Getaway Package  

While the most common barrier for women not catching up with girlfriends was work commitments, the most startling finding was that, when it comes to holidays, a mere 3% of women surveyed who were in a relationship spent their holidays with female friends, versus 89% who spent them with their partner. That’s despite the fact that 68% of women in the survey had known their closest girlfriend longer than their boyfriend or partner.

Alarmingly, the trend continues for single women, with only 23% surveyed spending their holidays with female friends. Most preferred mixed groups of friends, family and prospective boyfriends.

Lisa Phillips, Director of Brands and Communications at Vibe Hotels, said: “Much to our surprise, the research suggests that women tend to place less value on their relationships with their gal pals, than with the men in their lives. That’s despite the fact that our girlfriends are often the ones we’ve known since high school and men come and go! To help inspire women to get together and reconnect with their BFF’s, we’ve created a fun package at Vibe Hotels that’s unapologetically ‘girly’ and provides the perfect excuse for the ultimate girls’ getaway!”

Vibe Hotels’ Look Polished @ Vibe** accommodation package features four limited edition travel sized nail polishes that will see women pampered across Vibe’s seven sensational locations.

From just $199**, the Look Polished @ Vibe package includes:
