Abstract

![CDATA[The World Health Organization defines health as a complete state of physical, mental, and social well-being, not just the absence of disease. Despite this, until recently most research linking health and tourism was concerned with the health risks. Medical investigators have tracked the epidemiology of tourism-related disease and the incidence and etiology of the diseases involved. Tourism researchers have focused on the effect of health and safety concerns on motivation, liabilities for the industry, and the consequent need for pretravel advisories, health, and safety advice.]]
