Tourists often lose documents and valuables while traveling. Such a vacation, as a rule, turns into a nervous breakdown and large financial costs. Therefore, you should prepare in advance for the trip and take care of the safety of documents.
Storage of documents in the hotel
Experienced travelers know that it is impossible to store documents and valuables in one place, because you can lose everything at once. Even if your resort is the safest, don't rely on luck. Before the trip, take part of the money in cash, and put the other part on a plastic card, make copies of all your documents and keep them separately from the originals.
Tourists often keep documents, money and valuables in the administrator's safe. It's much safer than hiding everything in your room or carrying it around all the time. Unfortunately, there are cases of loss of personal belongings even from the safe due to unscrupulous hotel staff.
You can protect yourself from theft from the hotel storage by taking a receipt from the administrator with the described list of items handed over. It is best to draw up such a document in duplicate. After receiving the receipt, the hotel becomes responsible for the safety of documents and valuables.
It so happens that the hotel staff does not provide a receipt for the safety of things. Attackers are more likely to be interested in cash. In this case, do not put documents and valuables in one place in your room.
The safe box in the room is most often locked with a padlock. You can replace the standard lock with your own. This will make you more confident that only you can open the safe.
It is recommended to prepare gift bills in advance and place them in a prominent place in the safe. Such trick will distract the thief from your documents and valuables. Most likely, attackers will act in a hurry and grab what first catches the eye.
Storage of documents in the bank
Don't rely on your card alone. It can easily get lost or blocked. A good option for storing documents and a large amount of cash on a trip is to rent a cell in a bank located in the immediate vicinity of your hotel.
Walking on vacation
Take photocopies of documents and a small amount of money with you for a walk. You can distract the burglar by giving him a bundle of souvenir money. Do not put your documents and savings in your suitcase, as your luggage may be “well” inspected, lost or delayed for a long time at the airport. Save copies of documents in email. This will help you recover the lost faster.
Online payment
You can pay for air tickets, transfers, hotel accommodation and excursions in advance via the Internet. After that, you will not need to carry a passport and a large amount of money with you. It will be enough to take some cash for souvenirs and copies of documents.
