1.Ask for an allergy-free, pet-free and no smoking hotel room. Increasingly hotels, notably those in major cities, are responding to worldwide consumer interest in and demand for more healthy accommodations. The closer you can come to enjoying a PURE room, the more enjoyable your trip will be.

2.Sunshine and dry air minimize the growth of various types of irritants and contaminants, so try to get a hotel room that is bright and sunny, and well away from such facilities as swimming pools.

3. Air circulation is key to a healthy hotel room so make sure that yours has good ventilation.

4.It may run counter to the "fresh air is always good for you" myth, but air conditioning is often a wise idea when traveling by car and staying in a hotel room, particularly for those who have allergies or are sensitive to airborne pollutants. It may not be possible in the rainforest but it's always helpful to try to keep humidity low, ideally at 50 percent or lower because moisture is generally needed for bacteria, viruses and other contaminants to grow. Air conditioning helps do this.

5.Know your destination. Allergy and pollen seasons, temperatures and humidity, rainy and dry seasons all vary around the country and the world. The more you know about conditions in your destination at the time of your visit, the easier it is to prepare for possible discomfort. Try to plan your trip for a time of the year when indoor and outdoor pollutants are at a minimum

6. Bring your medications. Be sure to plan ahead, even consult a doctor if necessary, to ensure that you are prepared to combat whatever allergy or irritant might rear its ugly head during your travels. Have medications, especially anything needed for a sudden, serious allergic reaction, readily available at all time. And it's always wise to know something about available medical facilities and services when traveling to foreign countries

7. Drink Plenty of waterDrink plenty of water, but the right kind. Whether it's on an airplane or in a car, whether you are enjoying hot weather or vigorous exercise, keep your body full of fluids, especially fresh, clean water. When traveling internationally to some parts of the world, it might be wise to stick to bottled water, just to be safe

8. Be careful with food. New culinary traditions, ingredients and cooking methods can take some getting used to, even when there is absolutely nothing wrong or ill-prepared about the meal. If you are traveling to exotic destinations, get advice about what and where is safe to eat. And it's always a good idea to have an over-the-counter remedy on hand just in case

9. Protect your skin. Pausing occasionally to apply sunblock is an easy way to avoid a sunburn - and possible more serious problems years from now - that could ruin a day or two of vacation

10. Ask for PURE room at hotels. PURE Solutions offer hotel rooms that are allergy-friendly through taking precautions like: continuously circulated and filtered air, hypoallergenic bedding and pillows that are mold-, spore-, dust- and dust mite-proof, and surface cleaning that eliminates the growth of bacteria. A PURE room reduces particulates that can trigger allergies by 98 percent. Wyndham Hotels is the latest hospitality company to sign on, with a promise to offer PURE rooms in all their properties by the end of 2009.

Cultural, hygienic, and ethical differences often pose challenges to travelers whether travelers are traveling within their own country or across the ocean.
Taking precautionary measures to avoid health problems - gastrointestinal disorders and infections, for example - are important but do not cover all the challenges that may occur on trips. Beyond health issues, it is important for travelers to educate themselves about other crucial information regarding their destinations in order to avoid unintentional conflicts or disrespect for the people of the host countries.
Over the years, tourism has brought millions of much needed revenue to economically-challenged countries. While contributing to these countries' economy, tourists have, unfortunately, often brought and acquired diseases and have used and abused valuable resources such as water and electricity. And because of the building of resorts and time-share condominiums, local residents have often found that tourism takes away much of the affordable land, causing housing costs to rise to levels out-of-reach for many local residents.

Thanks
