“…Attractions attract visitors, while adequate facilities ensure comfort (Alhazzani et al, 2021;Cheng et al, 2022).

Friendliness from residents and tourist staff is also essential to increasing visitor satisfaction (Li et al, 2023).…”

Maritime tourism is synonymous with natural beauty, but its culinary riches are often overlooked, even though local cuisine can be a significant tourist attraction, such as at Mampie Beach, whose potential is hidden and neglected amidst the post-COVID-19 crisis. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques using interviews, documentation and observation, then analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis techniques. The research results show much culinary potential, mainly traditional foods such as Baye/Golla Kambu, Kasippi, Coklat Macoa, and Co'ri. as products that can be marketed or sold in the Mampie Beach marine tourism area. However, the lack of awareness and initiative of the community, tourism managers, and local government means that the culinary potential of these traditional foods cannot support the marine tourism of Mampie Beach, so it cannot impact tourism recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, several strategies need to be implemented involving the community, tourism managers and local government to optimize the existing culinary potential: First, holding regular thematic culinary events, where local traders can promote and sell their traditional dishes; Second, establishing partnerships with local businesses such as restaurants, food stalls and local food producers to introduce and serve regional specialties at tourist attractions, and Third, carry out culinary tours and cooking courses, where tourists can learn about local culinary culture while enjoying authentic dishes served by local people

This is particularly important for medical tourists come from diverse background. The Institute of Medicine report in 2003 (Institute of Medicine (US) Committee on Understanding and Eliminating Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care, 2003) emphasized the importance of healthcare providers being aware of and responsive to patients' cultural and social backgrounds, thus improving healthcare delivery.

IntroductionDespite progress in the development of new cancer drugs, concerns about equity of access remain. This study aimed to examine the availability and timeliness of availability of new cancer drugs around the globe over the past three decades and their associations with country characteristics.MethodsFrom a pharmaceutical intelligence database we identified new cancer drugs launched between 1990 and 2022. We calculated the number of new drugs launched in each country and the delay in launches. Using a multivariable linear regression and a Cox regression model with shared frailty, we examined the associations of the country’s Gross National Income (GNI) per capita, cancer incidence, number of physicians per population, and Gini index with the number of new cancer drug launches and launch delay in a country, respectively.ResultsA total of 568 cancer drugs were launched for the first time globally between 1990 and 2022. Among these, 35% had been launched in only one country by 2022, 22% in 2–5 countries, 15% in 6–10 countries, and 28% in more than 10 countries. The number of new cancer drugs launched in a country in this period ranged from 0 to 345. The average delays from the first global launch to the second, third, fourth, and fifth launch were 18.0 months, 24.3 months, 32.5 months, and 39.4 months, respectively. Our multivariate models showed that higher GNI per capita and cancer incidence in a country were associated with more launches and shorter delays.ConclusionThis research reveals significant disparities in the availability and timeliness of availability of new cancer drugs across countries. These disparities are likely to have contributed to the poor cancer outcomes observed in many countries.
