Top 3 Travel Destinations (& What to Consider Before Travelling)

Planning your next adventure? At Smarta Healthcare Travel Clinic, we’re here to help you travel smart and stay well. Here’s a quick guide to what you need to know before heading to our top destinations this year – Thailand, Morocco, and Peru!

Did White Lotus season 3 leave you dreaming of Thailand’s tropical beaches, emerald jungles, and golden temples? You’re not alone. Thailand is captivating travellers around the world — and even TimeOut agrees, ranking Bangkok as the #2 city destination for 2025.

With its vibrant street life, ornate temples, and breathtaking scenery, it’s no surprise that Thailand tops our list of must-visit destinations this year.

But before you pack your bags, it’s smart to know what to expect — and how to stay safe and healthy while exploring this Southeast Asian gem.

Before traveling to Thailand, make sure your routine vaccinations are up to date — especially for Diphtheria and Hepatitis A. Depending on your travel plans and activities, you may want to consider additional protection against Hepatitis B, Rabies, Tetanus, and Typhoid.

Malaria is present year-round in Thailand’s forested and hilly regions, particularly near international borders. There’s also some risk in inland parts of Surat Thani province and along sections of the southern border with Malaysia.

Malaria precautions are important—especially if you’re heading off the beaten path. Protect yourself by:

• Wearing long sleeves and trousers, especially after sunset
• Applying insect repellent to exposed skin
• Sleeping under a mosquito net when needed
• Consider bringing Malaria tablets with you – we can advise which are best for you.

Have Morocco’s vibrant souks, sun‑baked deserts, and Moorish architecture been calling your name? Morocco is enchanting travellers from around the world — with Marrakesh consistently ranked as one of the top city destinations for 2025.

With its vibrant medinas, fragrant spice markets, and dramatic Atlas Mountains, it’s no wonder Morocco is high on every UK traveller’s bucket list this year.

But before you pack your passport, it’s worth knowing what to expect — and how to stay safe and healthy while exploring this North African gem.

Before travelling to Morocco, make sure your routine vaccinations are up to date — especially for Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Hepatitis A. Depending on your plans, you may also want to consider protection against Hepatitis B, Typhoid, and Rabies (particularly if you’ll be spending time in rural areas or around animals).

The good news: there’s no Malaria risk in Morocco. However, insect bites can still cause irritation and other illnesses, so it’s wise to take precautions and apply insect repellent to exposed skin, wear light, long-sleeved clothing in the evenings and consider staying in air-conditioned or screened accommodations where possible

Also, don’t forget sun protection — Morocco’s desert heat can be intense, especially in summer. Drink bottled or purified water and be cautious with street food if you have a sensitive stomach.

Has Instagram’s epic Machu Picchu shots left you dreaming of Peru’s misty Andes, colourful markets, and ancient Inca history? Whether it’s wandering ancient Inca trails, exploring Cusco’s cobbled streets, or sailing on Lake Titicaca, Peru offers breathtaking scenery and rich culture at every turn.

But a trip from Lima to the Andes — or even the Amazon — requires some forward planning. Before you pack your hiking boots, it’s smart to know what to expect — and how to stay safe and healthy while exploring this South American country.

Before travelling to Peru, make sure your routine vaccinations are up to date — particularly Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Hepatitis A. Depending on your plans, you may also need protection against Typhoid, Hepatitis B, and Rabies (recommended if you’ll be trekking or spending time in rural areas).

If you’re heading to the Amazon or other jungle regions, you may also need a Yellow Fever vaccine.

If you’re venturing into risk areas:

• Take anti-malarial tablets (we can advise which are best for you)
• Wear long sleeves and trousers after sunset
• Apply insect repellent to exposed skin
• Sleep under a mosquito net if needed

Also, remember to stay hydrated, pack sunscreen for high-altitude sun exposure, and take it easy for the first few days to adjust to altitude in places like Cusco.
