Top Security Tips For Tourists

Costa Rica Top Security Tips For Tourists

"Beware of the pickpockets" - that is the standard byline you get to see in the interior of every public transport, and why? Because travelers are the principle target of thieves.  More than regular passengers, tourists undertaking a longer journey and lodging in foreign lands are a far easier prey.   The holidayers, often in a relaxing, vacation mood forget to take adequate precaution against prying eyes. They also tend to rely on the often faulty security measures offered by the hotels.  Here are other tips to help you avoid cutting your vacation short by being a victim of delinquents.
  1. Use ATM's that are located in well-lit and public areas.
  2. Mark your luggage with some distinguishing token to avoid intentional or unintentional exchanges.
  3. Make it a point to carry your most vital documents such as passports and other valuables in your carry-on.
  4. Avoid using your laptops while on the way. It can be a very tell-tale manner of revealing some essential personal information to peeping eyes. In case you must use it, make sure you use a privacy filter to shield any undesired leakages.
  5. Check on your voice pitch (in case you are a 'loud-speaker') while stepping into a hotel. Who knows but you might let out unaware much about yourself! Thieves might fake your name to get an easy access into your room. And you know the rest!
  6. When you check out of a hotel, destroy all records of your personal information given during check in.  This prevents any future risks to your security.
  7. While you are at your hotel, make it clear with the hotel staff to lock the door each time they leave. 
  8. Always be mentally prepared to escape from the site of trouble and for this you must be careful enough to take note of the exit points of the room/hall of the hotel you're occupying.
  9. Finally, be extra cautious with your wallet. After all, pickpockets have universal access!  Carry your money preferably in a money-belt under your clothes. Ladies must keep their money tucked close to their body and don't carry all your money in a single place.
