Expensive looking jewelry, for instance, can draw the wrong attention whenever you are in a foreign country. • If you ever become a victim of a crime overseas, contact the nearest U.S. embassy, consulate, or consular agency for assistance. • It is advised that you research online or find out from a travel agent about the weather patterns for the country or destination that you planning to visit.
Conclusion • Tourism is vital for many countries. • All good vacations have one thing in common, careful planning. • If money is a concern, make a budget and stick to it. Decide how much you want to spend. • Know what your rights and responsibilities are as a travel consumer. Read and understand the fine print in any travel agreements you sign.
