Put identifying markings on the suitcases you check through such as bold colored tape in a recognizable design. You could also put tape over the closure to prevent tampering by baggage handlers. Don't put all your valuables in luggage you check; e.g. jewelry, cameras, watches. Remove old airline destination tags.
Don't use your home address on you luggage tags. You don't need to let anyone know where your empty house is located. Put your business card in your luggage tag. For an extra measure of security, attach another business card inside in case your bag gets lost.
Make sure you have a signed, valid passport (and any visas, if required). most countries require you to have a full 10 year passport.
Make two copies of your passport identification page. This will facilitate replacement if your passport is lost or stolen. Leave one copy at home with friends or relatives. Carry the other with you in a separate place from your passport.
Leave your valuables in your hotel’s safe. Do not carry your passport around, leave it in the safe in your hotel. A photocopy will suffice if local law states that you need to.
Avoid traveling alone. Always be aware of what is going on around you.
