Most holidaymakers are not aware of the health risks they face abroad, even in the most popular destination, because official advice is not reaching them, according to a report from the Foreign Policy Center.
The research by the European think-tank found that only 9 percent of travelers could name a health threat on their trip, from sunburn to malaria, and only 2 percent of holidaymakers consult the Foreign Office before their departure.
The failure to take necessary precautions abroad could lead to a serious situation which can be disastrous for both individual health and the global economy. The growing intensity and complexity of travel patterns means controlling health problems is becoming even more difficult. Recent outbreaks of SARS and bird flu in the Far East have shown that even relatively small outbreaks can have a great impact on countries’ economies and the travel industry.
In 2002, Britons made 60 million trips abroad, and around 30-50 percent fell ill, though most cases were minor complaints such as sunburn. The "Health Travel" report recommends major changes in the way travelers are advised about health abroad. Worldwide studies have shown that health officers often give inadequate travel health advice that is not up-to-date, many people assume they will be told about health risks and don’t realize they should seek advice themselves, and most brochures don’t contain any health information.
The report suggested that instead of relying on the Foreign Office to give advice, travel agents, insurers, the media and guide books should all pass on health information. It said there should be more projects along the lines of the "Know Before You Go" campaign which asks travel companies to pass on Foreign Office’s advice to customers.
But it said advisers should not be overly scrutinized (细查) in case they stopped publishing warnings, and travelers should be aware there is always an element of uncertainty in any health warning. Equally, the report said that too many warnings might mean tourists would stop paying attention to them.
According to a report in the "Health Travel",______.
选项
A、great changes have taken place in the way the tourists travel overseas
B、many travelers failed to realize the health risks they would face abroad
C、travel agents, insurers and media often give wrong health information to tourists
D、travel health advice provided tor the tourists is not adequate and often out of date
答案
D
解析
本题为细节题。解题关键在于对文章第四段的正确理解,特别是对“Health Travel”报告内容的正确理解。选项A的内容与上文中旅行方式多样化相关,但报告并没有说明这一方式的变化,与报告目的不符。选项B表达的“旅行者不知道自己出国旅行面临的健康风险”并不是报告中所要表达的主要信息。选项C中的有关方面给予游客“错误的健康信息”也不是报告中的内容。选项D.travel health advice provided for the tourists is not adequate and often out of date与报告中所要表达的内容完全吻合,因此选项D为正确答案。
