  2. Safety is one thing many people overlook while traveling. As the travel director of this firm, I feel the need to extend some basic tips to make your trip as safe as possible.

    1. Never list home addresses on luggage tags. Use your company address for business trips. If necessary use a tag cover for visiting friends.

    2. Carry all important documents, identification, and currency with you at all times. Do not pack them in baggage that must be checked.

    3. Stay with your baggage until it is checked in. Never leave it unattended. If it is necessary to put down, always keep one point of contact.

    4. Keep money out of sight until you use it. Have the correct amount ready so you aren't counting it in public.

    5. When traveling at night in an unknown city, always walk in a brightly lit area to avoid mugging.

    6. Never use unmarked public transportation. Make sure a company name or phone number is listed on the vehicle.

    These tips, along with some common sense, will make traveling more safe while on business trips or vacation.
