Think Before You Go
In many of the most beautiful parts of the world, corporate headquarters buildings and luxury vacation destinations exist in the midst of stark poverty. The simple fact that you can afford to travel to such destinations may mark you as a rich tourist in the eyes of the locals. Designer clothes, excessive jewelry, the map in your hand and that expensive camera hanging around your neck all work to make you stand out from the crowd. Therefore, the first step that you can take toward ensuring a safer trip is to minimize the attention that you call to yourself, thus making yourself a less attractive target.
