Wildlife tourism faces a six factor problem in providing medical care for tourists. People traveling on safaris are increasingly older with more medical conditions and are therefore more likely to get sick or hurt. Parks and reserves where safaris take place have no formal medical infrastructure to handle health issues. Camps hosting tourists are small and remote, requiring a decentralized model of care. Getting help or evacuating those who are injured or ill takes a significant amount of time due to the remote locations of parks. These six factors - medical conditions of tourists, lack of infrastructure, small camp size, remote locations, need for decentralized support, and evacuation challenges - create an unsolvable problem for providing consistent medical services to tourists through traditional strategies.
