Abstract
The increase in the hope and quality of life, along with the greater rapidity and comfort of the different means of transport have made possible that travellers with chronics diseases, pregnant and kids makes tourist trips to tropical or subtropical zones. On the other hand the increase of the international cooperation has caused the appearance of long stay travellers who live in conditions such as the local population. These travellers have special characteristics due to their physical training conditions, chronics treatments, or the way of life during the travel that them makes more susceptible to suffer problems of health during the travel. For this reason the usual recommendations for travellers are insufficient in these groups and is necessary to make an individualized travel advice that considers these factors. This revision shows the most important warnings that must be made in these groups of special travellers.
