Now when the summer break approaches and people are traveling more than usual, so do criminals. Therefore, an2sec’s security consultants would like to give you a few simple advices to stay safe and secure.
Travel and hotel security
- When moving about in cities and especially crowded areas like market places, use the 2 bags system. If you carrying a backpack/rucksack or satchel, then it is a smart ide to carrying a small bag inside the bigger bag, with your valuables in that are fixed with a strap or another device to the outer bag. In case someone cuts the bottom, or the side open, the smaller bag will not fall out!
When staying in a hotel and you are not entirely sure about the security in the area, do the following:
- If you are traveling to none secure or less secure country/area then make sure that you take precaution in what floor you choose to stay. Do not accept the ground floor if possible and request 2nd or 3rd floor.
- Escaping from fire will be much easier and faster. And in case you need to jump you have a greater chance to survive the height
- In case of visiting a country prone for terrorist attacks, you will not be in the way of the blast and shrapnel’s
- Close curtains to avoid glass splitters
- Avoid the first floor. Criminals can make entries way easier to your room.
