1. Never put personal details on business cards. Use covered luggage tags and insert either a business card (without a mobile phone number) or a card with your name, airline, flight number, embarkation/disembarkation points and date of travel.
2. Pack lightly. You need to be able to carry your luggage on your own. There will not always be a porter available and it is better to avoid asking someone for assistance.
3. In hotels, ask the receptionist to be discreet when handing you the room key and to avoid saying your room number out loud.
4. At night, ask a member of the hotel staff to escort you back to your room.
5. Use the 'Do Not Disturb' sign at all times. If you need maid service, call housekeeping. If you are waiting for room service, ask the kitchen to telephone your room ahead of the delivery.
6. Take a magazine when you go to the hotel restaurant or bar. It can be a good excuse to help ward off unwanted attention.
7. Use the hotel taxi service. Get a map of the local area, find your destination and follow the driver's route. Always carry a mobile phone.
8. Make friends with the concierge. Ask them to book your restaurants and to warn the managers that you are coming/eating alone and will need a taxi back to the hotel.
9. Carry your important documents and money in a concealed money belt. Leave everything you can in the hotel safe.
10. Be modest in dress and wear no jewelry. The exception is a wedding band, which can be a useful accessory -- for the unmarried, too!
