Holiday hot spots or holiday hell spots? Health and hygiene abroad

Although holiday health and hygiene standards have improved generally over the past few years, you can still fall victim to food poisoning, norovirus and poolside accidents on holiday. The vast majority of resort hotels in Spain, Turkey, France, Germany, Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Belgium, Holland, Poland, Slovakia, Sweden, Italy and the rest of Europe, demonstrate high standards of health and safety, and holiday illness is not a problem. However, other package tour hotels are found lacking, and some should never appear in holiday brochures. Tour operators have a responsibility to holidaymakers to ensure health and safety standards are high, and that the well-being and health of the visitor is high on the list of priorities. You can claim compensation for holiday illness or accident in Malta, Spain, Portugal, France, Turkey or any EU country when you return to the UK if it was caused through the negligence of the tour operator or the holiday package hotel.

Be as vigilant and as careful on holiday as you would be at home, and always consider:

1. Eat undercooked or raw chicken and pork, which is a major cause of food poisoning in holiday package hotels. Always check chicken, pork and hamburgers are thoroughly cooked on the hotel barbecue before eating. Salads and desserts should be covered and kept chilled.

2. Always drink bottled water

3. Never swim in a dirty swimming pool with cloudy, or untreated water

4. Check cutlery is clean and don´t eat off a dirty restaurant table. Food that is left on plates attracts flies

5. Never eat reheated food which may have been served the day before (hotel package buffets are particularly hazardous when food is reheated and reserved on a regular basis)

6. Never eat food that has been left out at room temperature, open to the elements and open to flies. Seafood, mayonnaise and fish is particularly vulnerable to bacterial if not kept at the proper temperatures If health and safety standards in your holiday hotel are not up to standard, complain to your holiday rep or to the hotel manager. It is unlikely you would eat food that has been left out for hours in a UK hotel, so don´t accept it in your holiday hotel. Norovirus and food poisoning are one of the most common forms of holiday illness in holiday hotel package tours and on cruise ships. If you have suffered holiday illness through no fault of your own, on a holiday package tour, or on board a cruise ship, contact a no win, no fee personal injury solicitor when you get back to the UK, who can get you the compensation you deserve.
