Crime prevention is also important during hotel stays. Experts recommend being specific and careful in selecting a room. Executive status will increase likelihood of theft. When traveling internationally, do not put your company name on the tag. Avoid the last flight of the night if possible.
Criminals take advantage of weary, easily-distracted passengers.
Ride only in licensed cabs, and check to be sure the driver is the same person whose photo is on the license. Never accept a drink in a bar unless you see it made. Then don't let the drink out of your sight. Don't advertise that you are away from your hotel room by using the maid service sign. Stay alert on shuttle buses, especially when incoming passengers force you to move back, away from your luggage.
