SAFETY OF HEALTH TOURISM.
Our 30 minute discussion today, between Dr. Marko Koščak and myself on both sides of the Atlantic, analysed several main components of the HEALTH VACATION, including planning and vital considerations of the SAFETY integral to this form of tourism and the main aspects of this new and growing form of conscious tourism we see being pursued today by new clients and patients.
With the world changing rapidly, the health traveler must understand the implications of his decisions. We started with the country of destination and concluded that the typical HEALTH VACATION to European countries is the natural choice for a quality planned vacation.
Including the Balneo medical center and resort or ….the kurort , as it is called in the german health literature, our choices for analysis lean towards less conglomerated and over-populated tourism destinations like Baden- Baden in Germany or Vichy in France, but favoring in contrast the less frequented ones with the same healing reputation but with certainly a more peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.
We also advise against “mega-hotels” and their agitated environment.
The “tourism trap” classical combination …..location and hotel … of mass- tourism has nothing to do with our idea of a relaxing HEALTH VACATION.
THE FOOD and the safety of the food you are experiencing at your destination must represent the deeper influence of your choice in health vacation as well.
According to our HHS SECRETARY Mr. KENNEDY, the European food safety requirements are way more stringent than our food in the US. We analysed the role of a healthy diet within your HEALTH VACATION.
Our conclusion addressed the native and qualified personnel as a mandatory requirement for a safe HEALTH VACATION.
