How to make a tropical vacation a pleasant and safe?
Every year more and more tourists prefer the far tropical areas, especially in winter, when so want warmth and sun.
How to make a tropical vacation a pleasant and safe?
So, what you may encounter in the tropics:
Sunburn.
Yes, we’re all going to the warm countries for a Golden tan, but you need to remember that the tropical sun is very active, and follow the simple rules of sun exposure:
the best time to visit the beach before 11 am and after 16 PM. The active sun during the period from 12 to 15, it is better to wait the time in the shade;
– do not forget to use sunscreen, remember that the lighter your skin, the higher should be the protection factor means. For blondes and children recommended SPF of at least 50. Do not forget to regularly update the cream;
to protect from sunstroke essential a hat;
– if you feel that the skin is still burned, come to the aid of fatty soothing: cream, panthenol, aloe Vera gel.
Waves, currents, tides.
Not all tropical beaches in my life pretty as a picture. More precisely, the beach can be beautiful, but the sea raging in earnest. Choose bathing beaches tested, do not swim in the waves alone, watch for children, adolescents and their games in the water. Check with local residents when the sea is most quiet and safe and choose to swim that watch.
Insects, snakes and Scorpions.
The bad news is this good enough in the tropics. Good – in the developed tourist areas of living creatures much less. Snakes don’t crawl along the paths in the hotel, and Scorpions are not relaxing on the sun loungers by the pool. The main thing – not to climb alone in the forest and other wilds.
Whom you can meet in a hotel or apartment is ants. To avoid this, keep food in the refrigerator, do not leave in a bag or on the table cookies and other sweets.
Theft.
Theft in the tropics is, like, everywhere. The bulk of the population can not boast of great prosperity, hence sad for the tourist trade. To protect yourself from theft:
– use the hotel safe;
– do not take with large sums of money;
– go to the beach with a big bag or even pack, small purse will lure pickpockets;
– wear the bag over your shoulder, to make it impossible to disrupt the passing bike;
– studying the card in the phone, step away from the roadside to mobile is not snatched from the roadway;
– do not flash large sums of money, it is not necessary to recalculate them on the beach, on the street, pointedly removed in the outer pocket of the backpack and so on.
Unsanitary conditions and intestinal disorders.
Perhaps one of the most well-known of the danger, alas, is no accident. Where it’s hot, there’s always room to intestinal disorders, food spoiled quickly. To avoid problems:
– eat a proven cafe, do not buy perishable food off the tray, without refrigerators;
– thoroughly wash vegetables and fruits;
– wash your hands before eating or use wet wipes and antibacterial gels;
– if you suspect that the food could go bad, better throw it away.
First aid kit and insurance.
All of the above trouble is easier to prevent than to eliminate, but just in case, it is recommended to take a first aid kit with medicines of the first necessity, and also to take out insurance. Usually when you buy tour operators arrange insurance yourself, but it can have a sequel, where some of the money for medical services you will have to pay. Better to read the terms of the contract and, if necessary, arrange full insurance on their own.
