Injury is a leading cause of death for tourists and a common complication of travel. Advice for travellers predominantly focuses on infectious diseases. Injury is contextually specific (e.g., environment, age, gender), and consequently, prevention strategies to reduce injury should also be context-specific. There are few recent global studies on tourist injuries; indeed, it is impossible to measure tourist injuries on a global scale (and even at a country-specific level), due to various challenges. Some visitor safety information is accessible to tourists, but a broad, multi-modal approach encompassing novel approaches is required to reach those most at risk. This chapter describes the risk factors and prevention strategies for the most common injuries sustained by tourists. This includes the common mechanisms such as motor vehicle crashes, drowning, envenoming, injury from alcohol use, burns, falls, and violence.
