Rarely people talk about health impact of Tourism, particularly on how it changes the culture of communities involved as they charm various tourists worldwide.
Prostitution, illegal drugs, aside from environment concerns are just few things to consider once a destination opens it doors to various strangers.
Since 2011, as I gained my certification as HIV Counselor by DOH, coming also from a family of medical practitioners, I cannot deny the fact the urgency for everyone to practice safe sex and understand one’s sexuality.
As I lead Rainbow Connection Travel Organizations (the tourism subgroup of the Philippine LGBT Chamber of Commerce) , we should encourage our corporate colleagues to understand the situation in the epidemic of HIV and AIDS by encouraging tests and also to extend medical support rather than discrimination.
