Remove your badge when exiting buses at your hotel or when walking throughout the city.
- Always walk in groups.
- Talk to your hotel concierge or security regarding the surrounding neighborhoods and any safety concerns.
- Map your route before leaving your hotel.
- Always use auxiliary-locking devices on doors and windows.
- Avoid leaving money, checks, credit cards, passports, extra room keys, or car keys unattended in your hotel room. Instead, secure them in the hotel’s safety deposit box or in-room safe, or keep them with you.
