An ex-flight attendant has warned people on holiday to “always” keep their hotel room curtains closed when they head out for the day. Miguel Muñoz said it was an important way to stay safe when travelling abroad.
Speaking to the Express, he said holidaymakers should “always keep the curtains closed” in order to protect themselves and their belongings. Miguel insisted that this would help to deter thieves.
“Have you ever noticed when you first walk into your hotel room that the curtains are open?” he asked. “That’s a tell tale sign that the room is empty.” Therefore, if you keep the curtains shut, anyone thinking of entering the room is likely to assume there is already someone in there and may decide not to target it".
