Default Why are most shaver sockets dual voltage?

Out of interest, does anyone know why in most homes/fittings in the uk are
the shaver points dual voltage. i.e. 115 & 240 when all shavers I have ever
seen sold in the uk are 240v
Regards, Will

Most shaver sockets are fitted in hotels and other places occupied by
visitors who may well be from countries where 115v is the norm.
