THE TRAVELLER CONSULTATION
The phrase
"Travel broadens the mind and loosens the bowels." is apt but it
should also be remembered that less common serious diseases do occur, which can
completely ruin your travellers holiday and even be life threatening. As part of
the travel consultation You should
-
Inform
them of the dangers
-
Advise
on preventative measures
-
To
be prepared for illness
-
To
take written information with them
-
The
importance of follow up if illness occurs
It is
unlikely that the traveller will be able to fully digest all the information
that you give them, so providing perspective is important in
trying to achieve compliance.
However,
ultimately your travellers health is their own responsibility.
