International travels with children need special planning and preparation. Besides considering general aspects, such as the age of the child, physical fitness, pre-existing illnesses, type and extent of the journey, climatic conditions at the destination and previous travel experiences, it is important to discuss relevant travel-associated risks in the context of travel consulting. This includes extensive advice concerning mosquito protection and malaria prophylaxis and counselling and implementation of travel vaccinations. Depending on the situation of the family, an individualized travel concept can be prepared, creating the foundation for a possible problem-free international travel.
