Mental Health on the Go: Navigating Travel and Travel Eligibility
研究四种常见精神障碍（重度抑郁症、广泛性焦虑症、精神分裂症和痴呆症）患者的旅行资格，为旅游和医疗行业合作提供初步建议。
The 21st century has seen tourists from various source markets significantly impacted by non-communicable diseases, including mental disorders. Yet, research and practice frequently overlook tourists with mental disorders. Building on Buckley’s discussion in the Journal of Travel Research about tourism and mental health, this study examines the travel eligibility of tourists diagnosed with four prevalent mental disorders: major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), schizophrenia, and dementia. We present preliminary recommendations for accommodating these tourists and highlight the urgent need for collaborative efforts between stakeholders in tourism, hospitality, and medicine.
