Visitor Awareness Safety Tips: Convention Center
 |
Do not wear your nametag outside of the convention center. This marks you as a tourist and possible target. | ||
|---|---|---|---|
 |
If you see abandoned bags, packages or briefcases, contact authorities and leave the area immediately. | ||
 |
If you need help or have become separated from your group, talk to one of San Antonio’s City Ambassadors. You can spot them in yellow shirts and straw hats. | ||
Visitor Awareness Safety Tips: RIVERWALK
 |
Walk purposefully and stay aware of who and what is around you. | ||
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Use sunscreen of 15 SPF or higher and consider covering your head with a hat or umbrella. | ||
 |
Carry a water bottle and stay hydrated. | ||
 |
Stay out of the water areas surrounding the Convention Center and Alamodome. No swimming or wading. |
Visitor Awareness Safety Tips: CITY
 |
Do not stand in the middle of sidewalks to read tourist maps, go into a nearby restaurant or store instead. | ||
|---|---|---|---|
 |
If you suspect someone is watching or following you, turn around quickly, walk the other way and enter a store or office building. Speak to a security guard or police officer. |
Visitor Awareness Safety Tips: HOTEL
 |
Criminals often target hotels for their tourists. Use different hotel entrances and exits during your stay and keep your schedule unpredictable. | ||
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Always make use of the hotel safe for valuables and get a receipt for what is left in the safe. | ||
 |
When in the room, always lock the door using all available locks. | ||
 |
Always use the peephole to identify those who knock. Never open the door for a complete stranger or unexpected visitor. |
Visitor Awareness Safety Tips: AIRPORT
|
Remove identification cards from your luggage that give your entire name and mailing address and instead use a luggage tag that contains only your first initial, last name, email address and a cell number. | ||
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Do not offer information about yourself, whom you work for, where you are staying and where you are from. | ||
 |
Only use airport authorized taxis, shuttles or transportation services. |
