3. Introduction
Travel is the movement of people between relatively distant geographical locations, and can
involve travel by foot, bicycle, automobile, train, boat, airplane, or other means, with or
without luggage, and can be one way or round trip. Travel can also include relatively short stays
between successive movements.
Reasons for traveling include recreation, relaxation, discovery and exploration, getting to know
other cultures and taking personal time for building interpersonal relationships, tourism or
vacationing, for holiday to visit people, migration to begin life somewhere else, religious
pilgrimages and mission trips, business travel, trade, commuting, and other reasons, such as to
obtain health care. Travel may occur by human-powered transport such as walking or bicycling,
or with vehicles, such as public transport, automobiles, trains and airplanes.
Tourism is travel for pleasure; also the theory and practice of touring, the business of
attracting, accommodating, and entertaining tourists, and the business of operating tours.
Tourism may be international, or within the traveler's country. The World Tourism Organization
defines tourism more generally, in terms which go "beyond the common perception of tourism
as being limited to holiday activity only ", as people "traveling to and staying in places outside
their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other
purposes".
Tourism can be domestic or international, and international tourism has both incoming and
outgoing implications on a country's balance of payments. Today, tourism is a major source of
income for many countries, and affects the economy of both the source and host countries, in
some cases being of vital importance.

71. HealthPrecautionsfor Thailand
Health
This information is for guide purposes only. Other health organizations may recommend
alternative precautions.
The following Health and Vaccinations precautions are recommended:
Malaria prophylaxis: malaria risk exists throughout the year in rural, especially forested and hilly
areas of the country mainly towards the international borders, including the southernmost
provinces. There is no risk in cities, urban areas, Samui Isl. and the main tourist resorts of
Phuket Isl.. Human P. Knowles infection reported. Recommended prevention in risk areas: A; in
areas near Cambodia and Myanmar borders: D.
In Timatic, the recommended type of prevention is referred to as:
- Type A (very limited risk of malaria transmission) - Mosquito bite prevention only.
- Type B (risk of P. vivax malaria only) - Mosquito bite prevention plus chloroquine
chemoprophylaxis.
- Type C (risk of P. falciparum malaria with chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine
resistance) - Mosquito bite prevention plus atovaquone-proguanil or doxycyline or mefloquine
chemoprophylaxis.
- Type D (risk of P. falciparum malaria plus reported multi-drug resistance) - Mosquito bite
prevention plus atovaquone-proguanil or doxycyline or mefloquine chemoprophylaxis,
depending on local drug resistance.
Chemoprophylaxis should be started preferably one week before departure and no later than
the first day of exposure; it must be taken with unfailing regularity and continued for 4 weeks
after the last exposure. No prophylactic regimen is 100% protective against infection, but even
if it fails to prevent the disease it may, nevertheless, render the infection milder and less life
threatening.
