  • Do not bring all your cash with you when you leave the hotel. Consider locking a portion in the hotel sleeping room safe or a safety deposit box. 
  • Provide your itinerary to someone back at home/office.
  • When departing the hotel in the evening, place your conference badge in your purse or pocket. 
  • Walk on well-lit and populated streets.

  • When carrying a purse, ensure it is being carried securely under your arm.

 

 

  • Never leave your door ajar when stepping out of your hotel room.
  • Never write your hotel room number on your hotel key.

  • Should you find a name badge, return it to NCURA’s registration desk.
