Prepare for Health Hazards
Our immunity system seems to fail and other health hazards become worse during any trip. It sounds like a coincidence; but, whatever may be the reason, it is going to make your trip troublesome — especially when you are away from your home, says a Mauritius holidays owner. So, how to tackle these issues? First of all, keep your health insurance and latest medical reports with you. Better if you have a brief about your physic, allergies, blood group, serious medical conditions and so on in your wallet; it will help the docs to treat you in a serious condition. Also keep the health insurance card with you to make your treatment cashless. If you have any chronic issue like high BP, sugar etc. for which you need to take regular medicine, take it in good amount so that you don’t have to buy it there – may be the medicine isn’t available there.

Divide Your Money
Don’t put all the eggs in the same basket. Keep your money in different places – wallet, handbag, Maldives resort room etc. If any gets pick pocketed, you won’t be in trouble. Also keep enough balance in your bank account so that you can pay the bills using your e-wallet or debit card. Make sure you banker allows foreign transactions; if not, know how to activate that.

Involve Embassy
Not all the country police provide the same response to the foreigners. Some may be too slow to lend you a true helping hand. So, before you leave, contact your embassy and know the rules to contact them in case of any serious issue to seek for help. May be they give you some useful suggestions. Also google a bit and save the important telephone numbers of the local police and medical hospital of the local where you are about to visit and don’t hesitate to ask them for help.

Keep Belongings in Custody
Don’t believe others, no matter how innocent they look. If you have laptop, SLR, iPhone or any costly gadget, keep them in your room or can ask the receptionist to put them into locket. Don’t believe any innocent face just because he or she is too polite to you; keep all bulky and sensitive materials at your hotel room to keep them safe.

Dress Properly
You have went there to enjoy the beauty of the place; not to show off your beauty. So, wear comfortable dress and as much as possible, choose cotton wear, suggests a luxury holidays to Mauritius traveler. If you are a lady and traveling alone, avoid shorts which may attract those ill-minded people around the street. Use them only when you are visiting your client of any such trustworthy person. For cold regions, use proper thermal wear to avoid cold and flu protections dresses.
