According to media commentator and author Patty Randall, people of all ages are keen to travel abroad even if they have some type of disabling illness.
However, she told the Calgary Herald that positive steps can be taken to reduce the likelihood of falling ill while on holiday.
For instance, Ms Randall said wearing a medical alert bracelet could be a particularly good idea when leaving the country.
A piece of medical jewellery will allow doctors to find out quickly and easily whether a person has any underlying health conditions in the event of them needing emergency treatment.
Since it won't be your GP providing care during a holiday, ensuring medics know about conditions such as epilepsy could potentially be a lifesaver.
According to figures from the NHS, about 456,000 people in the UK are affected by epilepsy, including one in every 280 children.
