Description

Travel carries implications for health, individually and collectively, and health risks associated with travel carry implications for the travel and tourism industries. This study points out the health dimensions of travel and tourism, and calls for awareness and practical collaboration from those in the industry and in the social and health sciences. It encompasses a wide range of issues, with historical, political and economic ramifications.
