Abstract

Following a period of steady growth in tourism, COVID-19 has caused a tremendous decrease in tourist numbers travelling around the world. With the advent of COVID-19 vaccine programs we will no doubt see a resurgence in travel, but it may take years to recover to pre-COVID-19 levels. Travel medicine aims to assist travellers remain healthy and safe during their travels and will be very important to the recovery of tourism globally. Indeed, travel medicine will likely play a key role in when we can travel normally again.
