Vigilance on the way out of the airport is a priority for every tourist, so as not to be deceived by “local tricksters”. Secrets on how not to be deceived in the first days of travel, told an experienced tourist in his blog.
As noted by the traveler, a foreign country is always unpredictable, so the skill to always be ready will be useful to every tourist.
1. When leaving the airport, ignore everyone who comes to you and offers help. These are not helpers, but those who want to cut easy money from a stupid tourist. They will offer you a taxi, just give advice, ask where you will live and so on. Even seemingly innocent advice can cost you a penny. It is best to seek help from other locals who show no interest in you.
2. The same rule not only at the airport, but in general everywhere. If they want to take you somewhere, supposedly to help, then 90% of you will shell out a lot of money. For example, in Turkey they can offer help with buying a bus ticket. You will be taken to the box office, where the price will be higher, and the assistant will then receive a percentage for what brought you.
3. Attentiveness. This is the most important thing that will help in a foreign country. It is best to be suspicious until you understand the local rules of life. However, it is attention that is often lacking, because it is difficult to concentrate on a place where you are unfamiliar. This is used by fraudsters.
