Common tourist traps

  1. Robbery on the airport route

    How it works: British nationals have been followed and robbed on the way from the airport to private accommodation. There has been sporadic violence in Mountain View, one of the two routes from Kingston airport.

    How to avoid it: Most people take the Humming Bird route via South Camp Road. Take care when getting out of the car.

  2. Unlicensed taxis and excursions

    How it works: Most attacks on tourists are robberies.

    How to avoid it: Use reputable, licensed providers for taxis and excursions, and ask your resort or tour operator.
