There can be few holiday experiences more upsetting than having
your holiday ruined by illness. Many people look forward to a
holiday of a lifetime, perhaps a luxury cruise or a trip to an
exotic or far flung destination costing a consider able amount of
money, only to find that the only thing they see is the hotel
bedroom, cabin or worse still foreign hospital ward.
Even in the most minor cases of stomach upset where the
individual can recover and eventually resume their holiday, the
whole experience is blighted as few people are on top form
immediately after a stomach bug. Holidaymakers often chalk up the
episode to experience and try to access their insurance policy with
varying degrees of success. Those people who experience a more
serious event action can be taken against the organisations who
expose their customers and passengers to risk, particularly when
the consequences impact on the health of the individual long after
the initial episode has passed.
