Abstract
The season of mass holiday treks for the multitude is upon us. Since the new year, the newspapers and magazines have carried pages of advertisements and travelogues and each year the holiday horizon is pushed farther and farther away; now it includes Bulgaria, Rumania, remote islands, countries beyond the Iron Curtain and even China. Tourism has become big business. In the U.K., with a million or more visitors, it is considered a major industry. But what of Italy with eight million visitors, Spain running her very close, France with a mere two millions, Switzerland, Austria and other countries in between? All these countries may be geared to meet big invasions of foreign people during the tourist season, but understandably there are inevitable health risks and the most important of these are undoubtedly water‐ and food‐borne infections. Dietary disturbances due to the change of food and drink, especially of wine, by people who are unaccustomed to it, are of a transitory nature, and remedied by simple measures which include abstinence from rich and indigestible foods.
