Helping International Travelers Stay Healthy with Travel Medicine

According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, the number of international tourist travelers will reach 1.8 billion by the year 2030. With this steady growth in international travel, increases in infectious disease transmission will continue to be a concern for travelers as well as health organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Working with travel medicine specialists before and after travel can provide the preventive care and education necessary to limit infection and illness.
