Never announce your hotel room number or invite strangers to your room. Do not leave cash or valuables in your room. Safety deposit boxes are often provided at the front desk. Unpack and place belongings in the closet and dresser. Report to the management any suspicious movements in the corridors or rooms.
Select tour guides carefully.
Ask if there are any areas in town you should avoid. Stick to well-lighted main streets and public areas. Do not advertise that you are a tourist. Place maps and travel brochures in the glove compartment. If you do get lost, find an open business and ask for directions.
