“…The number of HIV‐infected individuals from developed countries travelling to tropical and subtropical areas has increased as a result of the clinical and survival benefits of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). The introduction of cART has shifted the motive of many travellers from taking a “last chance to travel” towards tourism and visiting friends and relatives (VFR) .…”

“…Due to modern surgical techniques and effective immunosuppressive therapy, transplant patients lives have improved and so has their ability to travel [18]. Immunosuppression in solid transplant recipients varies not only depending on the transplanted organ [5], but also on the time after transplantation, the dose of immunosuppressants and the presence of acute or chronic rejection episode that may be associated with elevated doses of immunosuppressive agents [19]. According to Boggild et al [13], the risk is higher in heart-lung, lung, liver or pancreas transplant recipients and lower after kidney and heart transplants.…”

Given a better quality of life and extended life expectancy in patients with immune suppression, the number of immunocompromised travellers is constantly growing. The aim of the article is to discuss travel-related health problems in immunocompromised patients, their most common destinations and reasons to travel, as well as complications associated with travel to regions with harsh environmental conditions. The article focuses on selected groups of immunocompromised travellers (ICTs), i.e., cancer patients, transplant patients receiving immunosuppressant agents, splenectomised patients and HIV-infected individuals. The most common infections and complications, including traveller's diarrhoea, vector-borne diseases (yellow fever, malaria, leishmaniasis, dengue, chikungunya), respiratory infections (including tuberculosis), and dermatoses were taken into account. Preventive measures dedicated to ICTs (pre-travel consultation, vaccinations, malaria chemoprophylaxis, prevention during travelling) have been also characterised.

“…Previous travel risks studies have focused on the tourist's perspective [16][17][18][19][20], the tour leader's perspective [6,21], the effects of religious affiliation [22], and the effects of diseases and viruses [23,24]. Additional studies have addressed the pervasiveness of tourists' judgements of food-related risks [25].…”

This study constructs a new travel risks’ evaluation model for freelancers to evaluate and select tour groups by considering the interdependencies of the evaluation criteria used. First of all, the proposed model adopts the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) to identify suitable evaluation criteria for evaluating travel risks. Six evaluation criteria and 18 subcriteria are obtained. The six evaluation criteria are financial risk, transportation risk, social risk, hygiene risk, sightseeing spot risk, and general risk for freelancer tour groups. Secondly, the model uses the analytic network process (ANP) to determine the relative weight of the criteria. Finally, examples of group package tours (GPTs) are used to demonstrate the travel risk evaluation process for this model. The results show that the Tokyo GPT is the best group tour. The proposed model helps freelancers to effectively evaluate travel risks and decision-making, making it highly applicable to academia and tour groups.
