- Approximately 41.7 million U.S. travelers went abroad in 1989, according to
- that year's report from the U.S. Travel and Tourism Administration. No one
- knows for sure just how many will make the trip this year, but it is certain
- that many will be unaware of the illness or health problems they may encounter
- outside the United States. But the best time to plan for emergencies is
- before the trip starts, and if you are interested in information that can help
- your planning, you will want to obtain your copy of "Hints For Healthy Travel
- Abroad", published by Hoffman-LaRoche and American Express Travel Related
- Services.
- In addition to travel-related illness information, the brochure provides
- tips on basic precautions about food and water, phone numbers to call for
- travel health hints, a world map highlighting high-risk areas for travelers'
- diarrhea and a checklist of health supplies to take abroad. You may get your
- free copy of the brochure by writing to Hoffman La-Roche Inc., P.O. Box 696,
- Fairview, NJ 07022-9956.
