During the Holidays, embarking on an all-inclusive vacation is a delightful way to relax, indulge, and create cherished memories. While these resorts offer a paradise of convenience and luxury, sanitary rules and health guidelines are often very different than what we have in Canada. In this blog, we’ll explore best practices when it comes to health precautions for travelers staying in all-inclusive hotels, ensuring you can fully enjoy your getaway while safeguarding your well-being.
Safe dining practices:
All-inclusive resorts often boast a variety of culinary delights. To maintain good health, adhere to safe dining practices. To maintain good health, adhere to safe dining practices. Choose freshly cooked, hot foods, and avoid raw or undercooked meat, seafood, and eggs. Be cautious with buffet offerings, and ensure that food is properly covered to prevent contamination.
Hydratation & Drinks
In tropical destinations, staying hydrated is essential. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially if you’re enjoying outdoor activities or drinking alcohol, which can dehydrate you. To do so, make sure you use bottled or purified water and avoid ice in your drinks if you’re unsure of its source. If in doubt, just ask an employee if the ice comes from purified water.
Mosquito protection:
Mosquitoes can be prevalent in some tropical regions of the world and may carry diseases like dengue fever or malaria. On top of the recommended health measures provided by our team at Groupe Santé Voyage, use insect repellent with DEET and consider wearing long-sleeved shirts and pants during evenings, when mosquitoes are most active. Additionally, many all-inclusive resorts provide mosquito nets for added protection during sleep.
Hand hygiene:
Frequent handwashing is one of the most effective ways to prevent illness. Carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer and use it before meals, after using public facilities, or after touching surfaces
that may harbor germs. Keeping your hands clean can significantly reduce the risk of infections.
In conclusion, a healthy vacation is a happy vacation. By practicing these health precautions, you can make the most of your all-inclusive getaway while safeguarding your well-being. Remember, your health is your most valuable asset, so take care of it as you indulge in the pleasures of your holiday. Have a safe and enjoyable trip!
