So what can be done if this situation arises, or what action can be taken in that case?

The health of tourists entering from abroad

For tourists traveling abroad for tourist reasons or for various reasons, there are some points that need to be considered in their travels. According to studies, hundreds of millions of people travel abroad every year for the purpose of tourism. Between 22% and 64% of tourists suffer from minor or serious health problems. From Turkey's perspective; Turkey as a whole is a vacation destination preferred by families with children. However, the emergence of health problems in families with children is reflected in the process of adaptation to the holiday area. However, Turkey is one of the countries with a very low incidence rate compared to many developing countries. So what are the most common tourist complaints?

• Bacterial infections
• Diarrhea due to a sudden change in eating habits
• Malaria and pneumonia due to climate change
• Troubled sleep due to time zone differences during intercontinental travel (known as jetlagos)

Turkey is a vacation area preferred by families with children due to the rarity of diseases, with the exception of Covid-19 ( wikipedia ) , a genetic pandemic and a chronic epidemic. As a result, the diseases or ailments that tourists encounter occur 98% of the time depending on the person. With all of these factors in mind, precautions should be taken before traveling. These measures can be summarized: take medication for chronic illnesses with you, take any necessary vaccines with you, depending on the region you are traveling to, and keep your eating habits under control for the first few days.

Although the adjustment process does not take long for tourists, the maximum time for children can be up to 3 days. Adults, on the other hand, tolerate this time more quickly. As with all processes of your trip, we are with you from a health point of view. What if an emergency occurs despite all the measures taken?

What should you do if you have health problems while traveling?

Firstly, as Tourwix, we work to ensure that all of our tourists have a healthy vacation experience. Health insurance is available for all tourists who come to Turkey from abroad or travel between countries. Therefore, in order to solve many non-urgent problems, it would be more cost effective to turn to facilities with which insurance contracts have been taken than to medical facilities in hotels or residential buildings. However, since customer dissatisfaction is unacceptable, we as Tourwix will work with all of our precautionary measures and medical professionals during your trip.
