GENERAL TRAVEL TIPS FOR VISITORS

• Treat people with respect and be respectful of other cultures. Be an ethical traveller.
• Mention your Name and Contact Number on your each luggage item.
• Learn local taboos to avoid offending people.
• Be patient. Expect delays and when things run on time be pleasantly surprised.
• Try to avoid raising your voice in anger.
• Do not flaunt your relative wealth.
• Bargain fairly and respectfully.
• Be careful about talking politics in other countries.
• Take care when you pay for things.
• Leave your jewellery at home. You can look pretty or handsome when you get home -- it's not worth getting robbed or beat up for your jewellery. Go moderate on the perfume, aftershave, and cologne.
• Learn the local tipping custom by reviewing guide books and web sites. Excessive over-tipping can be as harmful as under-tipping.
