Does location matter? Exploring the spatial patterns of food safety in a tourism destination
2019, Tourism ManagementCitation Excerpt :Thus, food safety has been a major concern in the food service industry over the past two decades (Knight & Warland, 2004). The food safety of food service establishments is also associated with travel and tourism because tourists can become sick from foodborne illnesses in restaurants and hotels while they travel (Cossar et al., 1990; Dawood, 1989; Fletcher, Maharaj, & James, 2009; MacLaurin, 2001; 2004). Food safety affects potential tourists' decision to choose a location or destination for their future vacations (Kozak, Crotts, & Law, 2007; Michalko, 2004; Thapa, 2004).

2009, Travel Medicine and Infectious DiseaseCitation Excerpt :These travellers are potentially exposed to infectious diseases for which they have no immunity, as well as other serious threats to well being, such as accidents and exacerbation of pre-existing medical and dental conditions. Conservatively, it is estimated that between 30 and 50% of travellers become ill or injured whilst travelling.2,3 Southeast Asia and East Asia are regarded as highly endemic regions for hepatitis B virus (HBV) (see Fig. 1) and include many popular destinations for Australian travellers.1
Current issue in tourism: The evolution of travel medicine research: A new research agenda for tourism?
2009, Tourism ManagementCitation Excerpt :Tourist travel is certainly not a new phenomenon and historical analyses of Scottish Missionaries between 1873 and 1929 highlighted the health risks which such travellers faced, especially to tropical areas, such as West Africa, where the most severe risks occurred (Cossar, 1987). Whilst few historical studies exist on other forms of tourist travel and the health issues which faced travellers prior to the post-war era, the existing studies do largely date to the 1970s (e.g. Steele, 1997), 1980s (e.g. Reid, Cossar, Ako, & Dewar, 1986) and 1990s (e.g. Cossar et al., 1990) and all these studies have come from the field of medicine known as epidemiology (i.e. the study of disease outbreaks and their propensity to grow to epidemics). These studies were certainly influential in creating what is now acknowledged as the field of travel medicine which some commentators consider has evolved from the area of tropical medicine.
