Like today, has not been confirmed infected people from Canada, Scotland, New Zealand, Spain and Israel. USA, confirmed infections have been found ten states. Therefore, there should be no surprise to anyone that tourism and tourism will be a mercy to this crisis. Over the past three days, the passengers canceled flights in March and the All-Inclusive Vacations relies worried swine flu. Although Cruise Lines has suspended all the stops in Mexico precaution, historical data show that the cruise lines are, and always will be better prepared to respond to outbreaks of the virus in comparison with land destinations. Since the 1970s, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a Division of the U.S. Public Health Service, and the cruise industry, created a good cooperative relationship through the establishment and implementation of vessel Sanitation Program (VSP). Simple BOS goal is to help the cruise industry, and to prevent the introduction, transmission and spread of gastrointestinal illnesses (GI) and cruise ships. The BOS program implemented, which consists of inspection, supervision, training and the provision of training. During an inspection, the CDC inspects medical equipment, drinking water systems, swimming pools and whirlpool spas, kitchens and canteens, activity center for children, accommodation (rooms and suites) -, ventilation systems, and common areas of the ship. The CDC uses electronic surveillance of disease, cruise ships, and is a notifiable disease on board, before entering the U.S. port. Most importantly, all of Cruise Lines is to develop and maintain outbreak prevention and Response Plan (OPRP). In the case of an outbreak, the cruise ship needed to increase the frequency of daily cleaning and disinfection; stop high-risk activities, such as self-service buffet tables and handshaking, to isolate the sick, collect information on clinical and / or samples of the environment, and provide daily updates to VSP case reports and account what the board has made to strengthen supervision. As you can see, the cruise industry have been trained and prepared for over thirty years of treatment and management of infections such as swine flu. In fact, some cruise lines have done successfully in recent years. In addition, all the precautions, all the cruise ships to many destinations all inclusive vacation, medical infirmaries enough staff to handle critical situations. In addition, close the gap, cruise lines and their staff tend to recommend the purchase travel insurance that covers medical expenses, the threshold of air travel, and other important topics, in the unlikely event that the illness interrupted his vacation.
