Common tourist traps

  1. Swapped goods and card fraud

    How it works: Credit card fraud and scams are common, including sellers swapping what you bought for inferior goods.

    How to avoid it: Watch your card when you pay and check your purchase before leaving the shop.

  2. Bag-snatching and motorbike theft

    How it works: Pickpockets, bag-snatchers and thieves on motorbikes target visible jewellery and handbags in cities and on beaches.

    How to avoid it: Keep valuables out of sight, and be careful when asking for directions or using ATMs.

  3. Unlicensed ride-hailing taxis

    How it works: Many taxis booked through apps may be unlicensed and uninsured, and police may order you out of one.

    How to avoid it: Use licensed petit or grand taxis and agree the fare or check the meter.
