ABTA Members are required under ABTA's Code of Conduct to inform their clients of the health requirements which are necessary for the destinations they are visiting - for example, where vaccinations are mandatory. Where there are no specific health requirements, holidaymakers and other travellers are nevertheless advised to find out about the health risks they could encounter when overseas.
Travellers are reminded that travel agents are not health professionals and any advice is for guidance only and should not replace professional advice from a qualified practitioner.
