How to be a responsible tourist
1.don't go in any car/taxi without a photo id
2.make shouer the passport is uptodate 3.Have copies of your passport se if you lose it you have a backup 4.If you are mugged, don't fight back. It is better to lose a few dollars and a wristwatch than get injured. 5. Use ATMs during the day, when there are people around. 6.Try not to travel at night. 7.Ask your hotel manager for advice on 'safe' versus 'unsafe' local areas. 8. Keep your travel plans, including accommodation details, to yourself 9.If possible, choose accommodation that has unmarked 'swipe cards' rather than numbered keys for each room. If you lose your swipe card or if it is stolen, the thief won't know which room to rob. 10.Beware of scams when travelling |
