The health risks of traveling in the Caribbean vary from malaria and dengue to HBV and dysentery, depending on the type of travel. However, mass tourists are the most vulnerable travelers. In addition, the degree of influence of mass tourism on health depends greatly on the number and scope of visitors, and the health determinants associated with the travel process. The influx of tourism to different population health determinants often crosses the gap between social and economic development and public health practices and has similar results.

The Ministry of Health is urging visitors to the Pacific to avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes. There is dengue fever in the Pacific Ocean. Since November 2017, the number of dengue cases in the Oakland area has increased from travelers from Fiji, Samoa and Tonga. Prevention of infectious diseases is also a top priority for communities and public health. To prevent diseases such as measles, the child's national vaccination program is important. Another valuable vaccination program is annual influenza vaccination against vulnerable groups such as the elderly and chronically ill patients.
