Step 10: Arrival

• If you didn´t book a transfer in advance, ignore the touts, and head for the licensed operator desk, or tourist information desk.
• Ask the locals about the safety of the area you are staying, and areas to avoid if necessary.
• Try to understand and observe local etiquette, culture and customs, and respect them. Remember you are the guest.
• Being relaxed and polite is the best way to avoid any difficulties.
• Try to fit in, and “go with the flow”, to avoid the stress you came on holiday to escape.
