With many people flocking to different locations, the regular life and ecosystem at tourist spots get disrupted. Locals feel out of place and end up disliking tourists. You surely don\u2019t want to be despised as a lost<strong> tourist abroad<\/strong> as that will make your vacation difficult.<\/p>\n<p>Looking like a tourist also makes you prone to getting coned and dragged into sale scams. Wouldn\u2019t you rather spend your trip experiencing local culture?<\/p>\n<h3>We give you the following list of etiquette and rules that will help you blend in with the locals and not appear as a\u00a0lost<strong> tourist abroad<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n<h2 id=\"section-1\">1. Don\u2019t carry that obvious \u2018I am a tourist waist pouch\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t wear that waist pouch which declares that you are a tourist and carrying money in it. This increases the likelihood of you getting targeted by purse snatchers as well. Instead, carry a normal sling bag which wouldn\u2019t attract much attention and will also store all your essentials. Also, carry a comfortable bag so that you aren\u2019t weighed down if you have to do a lot of walking.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29209 size-full\" title=\"tourist abroad\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/tourist.jpg\" alt=\"tourist abroad\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-2\">2. Don\u2019t Get drunk<\/h2>\n<p>Getting drunk in public is frowned upon in mainland Europe and in most parts of Asia. When you are holidaying in these Asian and European countries try to enjoy alcohol only in pubs and bars. Also, in some conservative places, try not to display the alcohol even when you are carrying it from one place to another.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/being-a-responsible-tourist\/\">Read this: Being a responsible tourist<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"section-3\">3. Do your homework and smarten up<\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t carry those maps and stand in the middle of city square staring at the maps. Read a little about the places you will be visiting, and use google maps in case you are going to be walking or cycling to all the places.<\/p>\n<p>Just don\u2019t be that person who bumps into everyone who is walking on the road just because their eyes are fixed on the map.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29210 size-full\" title=\"tourist abroad\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/tourist1.jpg\" alt=\"tourist abroad\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-4\">4. Stay with the locals<\/h2>\n<p>Use Airbnb to stay with the locals and learn a little more about the culture and the place. You will also be able to get some information about the places that are only known to locals when you rent locally.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-5\">5. Eat at local restaurants<\/h2>\n<p>Eating at local restaurants is a great way to blend in with the local culture. But try not to be too fussy about the food and try to read a little bit about the local menu before you visit the restaurant. So that you don\u2019t waste too much time asking about every ingredient that goes into your food.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29213 size-full\" title=\"tourist abroad\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/tourist2.jpg\" alt=\"tourist abroad\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-6\">6. Go somewhere different<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s very tempting to want to go to all the places your friends have been to. But it\u2019s always a good idea to ditch the obvious tourist destinations occasionally.<\/p>\n<p>Places that are not famous tourist destinations might not have too many tourists at these places. You will be welcomed warmly for being one of the few guests they receive.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/travel-tips-avoid-last-minute-glitches\/\">Must read: 10 Ultimate Travel Tips To Avoid Last Minute Glitches<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"section-7\">7. Learn how to greet and ask basic questions in the local language<\/h2>\n<p>Learning how to greet and how to ask basic questions will be very helpful while holidaying in a foreign land. It will also help you to save some costs you would have spent for a translator. If you don\u2019t learn the local language, be ready to ask endless questions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29275 size-full\" title=\"tourist abroad\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/touristabroad.jpg\" alt=\"tourist abroad\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-8\">8. Travel out of season<\/h2>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to be a part of the big tourist flocks and attract attention from everyone around, then always try to travel out of season. You can also avoid the crowd and get reasonable deals on your accommodation and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/holidays\/international-tour-packages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>travel packages<\/strong><\/a> when you travel offseason.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-9\">9. Not taking pics and too many selfies<\/h2>\n<p>This is hard to do but don\u2019t carry that \u2018I am a tourist\u2019 wand around and click selfies on a selfie stick. By that, we don\u2019t mean that abandon all your cameras and phones but try not to click 100 pics at one place with different poses.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s okay to carry a polaroid or click few pics on a phone to store your travel memories but just don\u2019t overdo it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29215 size-full\" title=\"tourist abroad\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/tourist3.jpg\" alt=\"tourist abroad\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-10\">10. Follow the local schedule<\/h2>\n<p>Try to figure <em>what happens when<\/em> in the cities you are going to visit. For example, if some place has a schedule of having an early lunch then stick to it. Try to have lunch during that time or just get it packed and eat whenever you want to. Just don\u2019t ask for it when everybody else is sipping on their evening coffee.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping a tab on the local schedule will also save you from getting stuck at unusual places or trips on empty streets to get essentials you need.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29281 size-full\" title=\"tourist abroad\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/losttourist1.jpg\" alt=\"tourist abroad\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Looking like a tourist comes with a price.
