You will always find accomodation with a compound, courtyard, fenced yard or somewhere secure to park the bike overnight or you will be able to ride into most hotels through the front doors and leave the bike there. Up to you if you want to remove panniers each night, for parking on the street during the day I throw a cover over bike and take my tank bag (with camera) with me. In West Africa, Central America and South America I never had anything stolen of my bike/truck, ever....In the UK I had my bike stolen.....where is safer?
Yes, be sensible with your gear, but at some point you have to trust people....and 99% of people out there are good.
