The Health Protection Agency say that tourists need more
advice about how to protect their health while they are
away. They say, while many companies do tell travellers to
get health advice about their destination, others do not.
But a spokesman for the Association of British Travel
Agents (ABTA) said members did offer advice if people were
travelling to more exotic destinations. Up to 2,000 Britons
die abroad each year, most of them from natural causes,
according to figures from the HPA.
