section Summary
 
 
The UK residents are well-recognized international travelers exploring different parts of the world including disease endemic regions like the Indian Sub-continent & the Africa. This pattern of travel makes them vulnerable to infectious diseases like malaria and diarrhea, which are communicable in nature impacting social, health and economic wellbeing of the population. These impacts may be minimized by administering appropriate pre-travel advice. The dynamics of international travel render the erstwhile travel advice practices ineffective very fast, creating a situation where up-to-date knowledge on the effectiveness of pre-travel advice is hardly available.
