Personal Security: Most theft on foreign holidays occurs because opportunities present themselves. Petty crimes usually occur in areas where tourists gather such as resorts, beaches and market places. A few simple precautions may help you from being an easy target.
- Don't wear expensive jewelry or watches.
- Keep bags in view and in contact. Bags left under tables or slung over the back of a chair make easy targets, as do valuables left by an open window.
- Avoid keeping all your valuables in one place.
- Leave unneeded valuables in a hotel safe if possible.
- Keep a separate record of serial numbers, travellers cheque and local contact numbers for your embassy.
- Photocopy all important documents, credit cards, passport, drivers license and other ID. Keep them in a separate, safe place.
- Avoid public demonstrations or political gatherings

Health Precautions: You should always check with your physician to see if any vaccinations are needed. A Hepatitis A and B vaccine is recommended for most foreign travel, especially in the tropics. Check the entry requirements for all countries on your itinerary. A Yellow Fever vaccination certificate might be required if you are travelling in or through an infected area.
