Traveler Resources

ISTM is dedicated to helping travelers become informed and prepared for travel. The Traveler Resource Hub is a free, comprehensive and accessible destination for travel health information. Designed with travelers in mind, the hub brings together three essential resources in one place: Global Travel Clinical Directory, Fact Sheets and helpful links to informative websites.

It's recommended to seek travel health advice from a health professional at least four to six weeks before travel. Even if it's closer to your travel date, it's still helpful to seek advice.

The Global Clinic Directory is a database of ISTM members and their Travel Clinics located in more than 90 countries. These clinics offer pre-travel immunizations, counseling and medicines to help protect travelers while travelling internationally. Many clinics also provide care to travelers if needed upon their return.

The health risks you may face on your trip will depend on your destinations, the length of your trip, your planned activities, travel style and your medical history. ISTM has created useful fact sheets on Altitude Sickness, Health Benefits of Travel, Insect Bite Avoidance, Malaria, Pre-Travel Health Advice and Travelers' Diarrhea that you may download.
