Blogg News Update (August 2011) – Melia Las Dunas Illness Claims – Campylobacter - Claim Compensation + £250 Bonus – Salmonella – Thomas Cook Complaints
A local health authority has confirmed that Campylobacter has been diagnosed in holidaymakers’ who recently returned from the Melia Las Dunas in Cuba. The victims began to suffer classic symptoms of food poisoning including profuse watery diarrhoea, vomiting and sickness shortly after returning home.
Simon Lomax, Simpson Millar’s Holiday Illness Claims Manager says;
”These cases have highlighted the risks of travelling to certain hotels in Cuba where hygiene standards are often poor. Illness such as salmonella and campylobacter food poisoning can be spread from person to person by an infected food handler.”
We are closely watching the hotels listed below for claims of hotel illness, holiday sickness and food poisoning:
Tourism is a major industry in the Cuba, and the nation is a favourite Caribbean holiday destination for UK holidaymakers. The alarm that hygiene standards are falling in Cuba may affect tourism numbers to areas such as Cayo Santa Maria.
Simon continues to say:
“There appears to be a serious risk of gastric illness outbreaks and routine screening of all staff must be implemented immediately to prevent infection to tourists staying at popular all inclusive hotels in Cuba.”
"The Melia Las Dunas is a 5 star resort located on the beach - it has several restaurants including buffet and a la carte, and several snack bars."
