Sight Seeing Safety Tips
Are you planning a trip to do some sight seeing? If so, TPD has a few tips to ensure that you stay as safe as possible while seeing the sights:
- Ask for directions at a hotel/motel on how to get to those attractions you want to visit
- If you are going out in an unfamiliar area, ask the hotel clerk if there are areas you should avoid
- Select tour guides carefully
- Don't advertise you are a tourist. Don't look lost or vulnerable. Walk with a purpose and stay alert to what's happening around you. If you get lost, find an open business and ask for directions
- Only carry with you the cash you will need, and only in small denominations
- If older children go off separately, be sure they understand the importance of keeping track of time and returning promptly at appointed hours
