abstract

the medical Counseling of senior citizens must take account of the physiological changes related to ageing as well as any previous illnesses. Points to be considered include booking (e.g. destination, handicapped ticket), pre-travel preparations (e.g. fit-to-travel, vaccinations, doctor's letters, first-aid kit, insurance) as also concrete on-tour information (e.g. monitoring of the amounts of fluid drunk, skin care, dietary recommendations).
