“…This condition creates an explosive environment dan can accelerate fire. Therefore the process of storing and handling swimming pool chemical material are very important (Franklin et al, 2021). The manager of the Tirta Nirwana stated the installation of fire extinguishers is not necessary because the risk of fire is very low and the availability of water is guaranteed because of the swimming pool.…”

The closure of tourist attractions during the Covid-19 pandemic makes the facilities unmaintained and damaged so that it can endanger visitors. Safety and comfort are very important conditions in the tourism industry. Swimming pool is one of the tourist attractions that are found and visited by various age groups. Monitoring and assessment of the environmental health of the swimming pool area is very necessary to avoid the danger and risk of disease transmission to visitors. The study aimed to assess environmental health of the swimming pool after the Covid-19 pandemic. The assessment was conducted in Tirta Nirwana swimming pool. Environmental health assessment is carried out using a tourist attraction environmental health examination form. The assessment form consists of general environmental conditions and sanitation facilities which include clean water, public toilets, waste disposal, health promotion, and health facility. The environmental health assessment showed that the Tirta Nirwana swimming pool was declared healthy with good general condition and sanitation facility.

“…And more often than not, they are described as a population at greater risk because of the way they travel: they stay in less hygienic hotels, are less careful about their diet and hygiene, and often engage in riskier activities and behaviours such as extreme sports, unprotected sexual encounters, or the use of psychotropic substances. A significant body of research also exists in the field of accident analysis [21].…”

Backpackers are an unusual category of travellers. Their unique mobility patterns, spatial practices, and the areas they travel through expose them to health situations that remain largely unexplored to date. This article conducts a narrative literature review (across six different databases in English and French) in this domain and highlights key contributions. The results show that backpackers frequently experience health problems during their trips. They are described as being more at risk than other tourists and more inclined to adopt harmful behaviours. However, the majority of related studies lack contextualisation, which is an advantage of geographical analysis. Moreover, given the limited volume of the existing literature, this review serves as an invitation to geographers to delve deeper into this intriguing field.

Background The wellbeing and safety of international tourists is a paramount concern for governments and stakeholders. Mortality among travellers, and the causes of death, serve as a significant metric of destination safety. We describe the epidemiology and causes of death among international travellers in Peru. Methods Data retrieved from the Peruvian government’s deaths certificates registry included all non-residents who died between January 2017 and December 2021. We analysed the national incidence and causes of death among international travellers in Peru. Causes of death were classified into non-communicable diseases (NCD), communicable diseases, and injuries. We classified fatalities according to the existence of preventive measures that could be provided during the travel medicine consultation to decrease the risk. Results We obtained records from 1514 deaths among international travellers (973 males, 64%). The incidence increased from 0.2 deaths per 10 000 travellers in 2017 to 9.9 in 2021. NCDs were the most common causes of death (n = 560, 37%), followed by communicable diseases (n = 487, 32%), and injuries (n = 321, 21%). Causes of death were unknown in 9.7% of the records. The leading causes of death in these categories were cancer, cardiovascular disease, COVID-19, and trauma. We found similar sex distribution of NCDs in travellers aged > 50 years and higher rates of communicable diseases among males across all ages. Injury-associated deaths were significantly higher among males aged 18–29 years (p < 0.001) compared to other sex-age groups. We estimated that for 57.7% of deaths risk could have been decreased through pre-travel advice. Conclusion Rates of deaths among travellers to Peru increased over time. Most deaths were due to NCDs, followed by communicable diseases and injuries. Pre-travel medical optimization and effective advice focused on age-sex and destination specific risks could reduce risk among travellers. Increased awareness among travel medicine practitioners and improvement of emergency medical response systems in Peru could decrease mortality.
