But, before you decide to go ahead and paint the town red, or whatever other colour you’d like to😊, there are certain precautions you must take to avoid any sort of hitch that could pose a threat to your vacation!

So, without wasting any more of your precious holiday time, we’ve put together some short and crisp tips to stay safe at your destination:

·       Use ATMs during the day, when there are people around.

·       Try to rely more on credit cards and travellers’ cheques than cash.

·       Avoid sharing taxis with strangers.

·       Don't wear expensive jewellery on obvious display.

·       Always lock your hotel door when retiring for the night.

·       If unfortunately, you happen to lose your passport, there’s no need to panic for your Travel Insurance company will help you in getting a duplicate passport. It will cover you for the expenses that is needed for you to get another passport or travel to other places, or back home.
