Learn to ditch 'auto' or 'P' mode on your camera, and use selected aperture and shutter speed settings for more control if you can.
Clear out the clutter and focus on a main subject. You don't need to include everything in the frame. Do you want that tree or post-box in the frame? What are you trying to tell with your picture?
Step up and shoot closer whenever able to. A lot of people tend to stay too far back when taking vacation shots.
Use a self-timer to trip the shutter to minimize blur and camera shake in low light conditions or if using a slow shutter speed (say, of 1/15 and slower) when handholding camera. Most times, your tripod may not be with you, you'll need to improvise.
Vary your camera angle, level and framing on your shots. Shoot low, from high up, from the ground up, up the dog's nose. Take filled frames but also frame with background detail for scale and setting on some shots.
Choose an aperture around F8. That way, if you grab the camera and point at an object, say, 5 feet away, you'd get sharpness on things lying within 3 feet to 10 feet in the frame.
You can focus on a spot where you anticipate the action will happen using this method. This helps the camera locks focus faster and works great for quick, candid shots, particularly when you don't want to tip your subjects off that they are being photographed.
Be sensitive to cultural differences. Ask permission to take a shot of that nice native for example, or the farmer.
Don't try to take photos of things when it is illegal or impolite to do so.
