What should I do if I suddenly get sick while traveling? Is the travel agency responsible?

Legal analysis: Tourists who fall ill during travel have the right to request assistance from travel agencies. Travel agencies should not be held responsible for illnesses that occur due to tourists’ own reasons during travel, but they should assist tourists in providing assistance. If a tourist is injured due to the failure of a tour operator or ancillary travel service provider to fulfill this obligation, tourists have the right to demand that the tour operator or ancillary travel service provider assume liability. Tourists themselves also have the obligation to truthfully inform their personal health conditions and pay attention to their own safety. If tourists fail to truthfully inform their personal health information, do not obey the notifications and warnings of tourism operators and tourism auxiliary service providers, and participate in activities that are not suitable for their own conditions, If a tourist is injured due to tourism activities and asks the tourism operator or tourism auxiliary service provider to bear responsibility, the People's Court will not support it.

Legal basis: Article 12 of the Tourism Law of the People's Republic of China: Tourists have the right to request assistance and protection when their personal or property safety is in danger.

Tourists who have their personal or property harmed have the right to obtain compensation in accordance with the law.
