Tour Travel Tips - Arriving 
Whenever you arrive in any
country, whether it be by train, plane or whatever you are vulnerable. You have
all your cash, cards, documents and anything else valuable on you right at that
moment. It is even worse if you have never been there before and look like you
haven't, there are always people who are willing to "help". Every precaution
you take will help to avoid any potential problems. After all you do not want
someone to "help" themselves to your belongings, when you have just arrived.
Here are a few tips that should help.
Before leaving for your trip, try
to get some prior information as to the rough layout of the airport where you
will be arriving. This will help, to have a vague sense of where you should be
going and where the taxis are located etc.
Whenever possible, especially
in certain countries we recommend taking either the airport limousine, or a
hotel pick up.
Never take a taxi that seems just to be hanging around,
offering its services when there is a taxi queue available.
Try to keep
your wallet and valuables safely secured in a handbag or in one of your hand
luggage.
Change some money into the local currency before you depart.
This gives you one less thing to worry about, and will stop you from pulling a
large amount of money out at the airport arrivals.
Keep a small amount
of this local currency, easily accessible in a pocket or something, and away
from the majority of your well earned money. You will need sufficient for the
ride into town, a tip (perhaps) and a little for unforeseen needs like toll
ways or a bottle of water.
If you have not been able to find anything
out about the airport that you are visiting then ask one of the airline staff,
or the government tourism booth (if they have one at the airport) for some
assistance, or tips on the best way of travelling.
Most countries really
are very safe, but in others it is really very advisable to take to take as
many precautions as possible. No matter what, the most important is that you
have a great holiday.
