Tips

Tips for Travelling:

• Choose clothes appropriate for the climate. If you are going somewhere warm and leaving a cold climate consider leaving a set of warm clothes in the car if you are leaving it at the airport or with friends if you are being collected.

• Keep your travel plans, including accommodation details, to yourself.

• Try not to travel at night.

• Ask your hotel manager for advice on 'safe' versus 'unsafe' local areas

• Use ATMs during the day, when there are people around.

• Consult with your hotel manager or tourist information centre about the public transport in your area. Make sure you know what official taxi cabs look like. A thief may pose as a taxi driver to lure you into their car.

• Always lock your hotel door when retiring for the night. If there is a chain included, use it.

• When arranging to meet people you've never met before (such as business associates), wait for them in the lobby. Don't ask them to come up to your room.

• Don't wear expensive jewellery on obvious display.
