What preparations do the elderly need to make when traveling? With the growth of age, the physical function gradually declines, and walking more is good for physical and mental health. But after all, the elderly are not as good as the young, so what preparations do you need to make to share the trip now?
What should the elderly do to prepare for a trip? 1 1. Avoid climbing mountains and wading.
The elderly should pay more attention to the geography, climate, accommodation, diet and other conditions of tourist destinations, and can choose general sightseeing groups, such as a one-day tour of the countryside, a tour of lakes, a tour of historic cities and coastal cities. It is best not to try to go to high altitude areas or areas involving mountaineering, wading and other projects.
2. Avoid the tourist season:
The elderly should try to avoid traveling in the peak season, and should choose April-June and September-10. Because the weather in the north and south is comfortable during this time, it is not easy to get sick.
3, it is best to buy insurance in advance just in case:
Travel insurance is divided into compulsory travel agency liability insurance and accidental injury insurance purchased by tourists voluntarily. The elderly team, leisure route arrangement, experienced team leader and team doctor are indispensable. Most importantly, be sure to buy accident insurance.
4. Don't travel alone:
Old people had better travel together. You can invite old friends who often work together in the community or unit to travel together, get familiar with each other and take care of each other.
5. Don't be too nervous during the journey:
For example, going to several scenic spots a day, the old man's body can't bear this rhythm. It's best not to choose trips that are too far away and have too many scenic spots. Try to rest at night and don't get too excited. During this period, some interest exchange meetings and health talks can be arranged.
6. Have a physical examination before departure:
Old people must first have a clear understanding of their physical condition before going out. Patients with chronic diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease and epilepsy had better not go out, let alone hide their medical history from travel agencies. Elderly patients with chronic diseases who travel abroad should take all medicines with them and inform the team leader and group members in advance to prevent accidents.
7. Be careful when choosing transportation:
It is best to fly and train, which can save time and avoid the fatigue of the journey. But if you have serious respiratory diseases and heart diseases, you'd better consider flying carefully.
What do the elderly need to prepare for traveling? First, the elderly should choose their travel destinations reasonably according to their physical condition and weather conditions before going out. For the elderly with hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, it is not appropriate to choose high-altitude and high-pressure tourist attractions. Travel agencies should also truthfully introduce and explain the customs, medical care and public security of tourist destinations to the elderly according to the Tourism Law and the principle of good faith.
Second, in the process of traveling, according to the provisions of Article 35 of the Tourism Law, tourists who buy souvenirs have full choice, and travel agencies are not allowed to specify specific shopping places and service items to force tourists to participate, especially the elderly are particularly cautious in this case and have the right to refuse unreasonable demands from travel agencies or sellers;
Third, in the activities of visiting scenic spots, if an emergency or tourism safety accident and local weather may cause the death of the elderly, the elderly should seek help from the travel agency in time, and the travel agency should immediately take necessary rescue and disposal measures to fulfill its obligation to inform and explain the situation according to law. When taking rescue measures, elderly tourists should obey the relevant arrangements of travel agencies to avoid unnecessary damage;
Fourth, arrange free travel time reasonably. Many elderly people like to go out alone or in groups during their travel breaks. At this time, we should pay attention to report to the travel agency in time, and leave effective contact information with each other before going out to prevent dangerous events. If the travel agency evaluates that the local risk of going out is high and asks the elderly not to go out, the elderly should fulfill their obligations in accordance with the travel contract;
Fifth, regarding the accommodation during the trip, you should be familiar with it in detail before going out, and check whether the above items are in line with the contract after arriving at the destination in time. If it does not comply with the provisions of the Contract Law and the Tourism Law, the elderly can ask the travel agency to travel as agreed or keep relevant evidence by taking photos or other reasonable means, so as to protect their rights in the future.
1: physical examination before departure.
Old people should have a physical examination before going out to travel, and they can only go after obtaining the consent of the doctor. Then according to their physical condition and illness, choose tourist spots and arrange travel itinerary. As far as you can. Not far, but near. Don't force it. After departure, you should introduce your illness to the accompanying health care doctor in time, and someone should accompany you when traveling alone or in groups.
2. Carry commonly used drugs
In addition to antihypertensive drugs, vasodilators, hypnotics and other drugs, there are also drugs for treating colds, diarrhea and pain. Take emergency medicine with you in case of emergency. If you get carsick, you should also bring anti-motion sickness medicine.
3. Prevent colds.
During the spring and autumn tourism season, the climate is changeable, so don't take off your clothes and bring rain gear for spring outing, in case of accidents and cold. The temperature difference between morning and evening in autumn is large, and the immunity and disease resistance of the elderly are reduced. Clothes should be increased or decreased with the climate change to prevent colds.
4. Eat healthily.
Eat a light diet during the trip, eat less instant noodles and eat more fruits and vegetables to prevent constipation. Do not eat unsanitary and unqualified food and drinks, and do not drink spring water, pond water or river water. Try to eat in the restaurant where you live, bring your own tableware and water utensils, which is convenient and hygienic.
Step 5 avoid excessive fatigue
The train was crowded, the carriage was dirty, and the car bumped badly, which made me feel very tired. Therefore, when the elderly travel to Xinjiang, it is best to take a sleeper or plane for a long distance, or they can go in sections. The itinerary should be loose but not tight, and the amount of activities should not be too large. When visiting a doctor, you should walk slowly, step by step, and climb the mountain according to your ability, so as to avoid overwork, increase the burden on your heart, and cause myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, which will lead to the recurrence of old diseases. If you have dizziness, headache or abnormal heartbeat, you should rest or see a doctor.
6. Old people need quiet accommodation when traveling.
Comfortable and quiet accommodation In order to ensure 6-8 hours of sleep every day, the accommodation conditions are not luxurious, but comfortable and quiet. Choose 2-4 people, and share the same room with the accompanying person or travel companion for easy care. Don't try to live in a damp, dark and crowded room to save money, so as not to affect sleep, fatigue or induce diseases.
