Safety Tips for Travelers
Before you travel, you must take the proper precaution to ensure your own personal safety and the security of your belongings. The following is a list of some safety tips for travelers.
Documents, cash, and credit cards
These items are most secure when they are locked in a hotel safe. If you wish to carry them with you, conceal them in several places rather than putting them all in one wallet or pouch. Avoid using fanny packs, handbags, and outside pockets. One of the safest places to carry valuables is in a pouch or money belt that you wear underneath your clothing.
You should always photocopy important documents such as passports, visas, airline tickets, and credit cards. Keep copies at home, and take ones with you. As a precaution, don’t keep everything in the same place when traveling.
Baggage
Never leave baggage unattended. Identify your luggage. Put your name, address, and telephone number inside and outside of each piece of luggage, using covered luggage tage.
