Short answer
Package holiday illness enquiries should identify the booking, resort, dates, symptoms, meals and excursions, medical treatment, illness reports, photographs, receipts, insurer or tour operator contact and any claim timing. Legal4U cannot decide whether illness was caused by the holiday or whether compensation is due.

Flag Protocol, Disclosure And Causation Questions
