For Your Safety
When you are outside you should:
- Get directions before leaving the hotel or restaurant.
- Take taxis or shuttles you recognize.
- Walk with another person. Single targets are the most likely victims of crime.
- Not wear your badges or carry conference bags. Both identify out-of-towners.
- Avoid dark, isolated areas, such as closed plazas and apparent shortcuts back to the hotel.
