Three Simple Travel Reminders

Scammers know that tourists enjoying themselves often let their guard down. Keep the following in mind to prevent being ripped off or placed in danger:

2. While friendly people should be welcome, be wary if the conversation gets steered into your travel plans, where you’re staying, what you’ve been purchasing and other personal information – especially if your new-found “friend” keeps paying for the drinks.
3. Accepting tours from street vendors and unknown entities risks too much. It’s wiser to make tour arrangements with familiar companies or recommended guide and tour services with track records.
