“…En América Latina, el turismo es un sector con una fuerte presencia de las mujeres (UN-WTO, 2011); no obstante, dicha presencia también está caracterizada por desigualdades de diversa índole Pero precisamente, para afrontar estos nuevos retos, las Agencias requieren un recurso humano más comprometido para poder satisfacer las necesidades y expectativas de la clientela (Sheng Hshiung, Chang Hua y Wan Yu, 2011; Oviedo García, Vega Vázquez, M. y Castellanos Verdugo, 2015); particularmente en el caso de aquellas que han apostado por la especialización (Cankül y Demir, 2018;Villanueva-Meyer et al, 2014).…”

“…Africa is the epicenter of the infection contributing 95% of the malaria cases regionally(World Health Organization, 2020). The epidemic of arboviral and malaria have an overlapping geographic distribution in Sub-Saharan Africa (Sow et al, 2016) and are classi ed among the health risks associated with travels to tropical regions of Africa (Villanueva-Meyer et al, 2015). Other arboviral and mosquito-borne diseases like yellow fever and dengue mimic almost the same clinical signs as malaria infections (Lee et al, 2018;Mutanda et al, 2014) and are often clinically misdiagnosed which may result in slow identi cation of cases and potentially high morbidity and mortality (Sow et al, 2016).…”

Background: Early detection is key to the control of malaria infection. Over 70% of the population in Kenya is constantly at risk of infection. In March 2022, several samples were collected from yellow fever suspects, during a yellow fever outbreak investigation in Isiolo County, with malaria being detected in more than 92% of them. This prompted further investigations to, find more cases characterizing them, conduct data quality audits, assess health facilities malaria surveillance, and establish possible factors associated with malaria infection in Isiolo County. Methods: This was a retrospective review of data from sixteen purposively selected health facilities. Outpatient, inpatient, pharmacy and parasitology laboratory registers were reviewed from 1st October 2021 to 31st March 2022, line listed suspected malaria cases in Excel, abstracted sociodemographic, clinical, and laboratory information. Plotted epidemic curve to illustrate distribution of cases. We interviewed clinicians, pharmacists, and laboratory officers to assess malaria surveillance. For Data Quality Audit (DQA), we used a standardized tool and automatically score data quality at various service delivery points, summarised continuous variables into frequencies and proportions using STATA 15. Bivariate analysis was applied to generate odds ratios and logistic regression to identify factors associated with malaria. Data were presented in tables, map, and figures. Results: Of the 5527 records analyzed, 54.9% (3453/5527) were females. Median age was 15 years (IQR 5-30). Participants with laboratory results were 89.6% (4957/5527), of these 11.5% (572/4957) were malaria positive. Exposure to malaria infection was two times more likely among participants ≥5 years, OR=1.85(95% CI 1.46, 2.35; p=0.00), males OR=1.45(95% CI 1.22,1.73; p=0.00), and residents in Garbatula Sub County OR=1.50(95% CI 1.07,2.10; p=0.01). In adjusted multivariable logistic regression analysis, ≥5 years aOR=1.5(95% CI 1.16,2.06; p=0.000), Males aOR=1.45(95% CI 1.223,1.732; p=0.000), and residents in Garbatula Sub County aOR=1.51(95% CI 1.078,2.105; p=0.016) were significantly associated with malaria infection. Data completeness was 83%, and timeliness 71%. Stock-outs of malaria commodities in 25% (4/16) of the facilities. Conclusions: malaria case load surpassed the alert threshold not depicted by the routine surveillance data. Incompleteness of data, untimeliness reporting and poor inventory may have attributed to the observed under-reporting. Interventions aimed at improving malaria data and inventory management would improve malaria surveillance indicators in the County.

“…School travel plan (STP) may provide a significant source of physical activities and travel experience for students in many countries (Buttazzoni, Clark, Seabrook, & Gilliland, 2019; Deligianni, Papadoulis, Monsuur, Quddus, & Enoch, 2021; Jing, Wang, Chen, & Zha, 2018); the STP for graduation travel is an important market for travel agencies (Hinckson, 2016;Villanueva-Meyer et al, 2015;Wen et al, 2021); The plan was developed through collaboration among the school, community, and local tourism business (Deligianni et al, 2021;Jing et al, 2018;Mammen, Stone, Buliung, & Faulkner, 2015), tourism product advantage is an important condition for customers to choose the travel agency process. If travel agencies have innovative leadership or leading product advantages, there will be more opportunities to stand out among other competitors in choosing a cooperation process (Tari et al, 2020;Uslu & Akay, 2019).…”

School travel plan (STP) is a significant tourism market for travel agencies; this study explores how travel agencies with customer orientation ability, product advantages, and high-quality service performance affect customer perceived value and the strategic adaptation of travel agencies from a resource-based view by moderating the effect of inter-functional coordination. Proportionate stratified sampling was used to select teachers and administrators from junior and high schools who participated in graduation trip selection for three years from Taiwan, and 183 samples were collected for analysis; likewise, PLS-SEM was adopted to verify the measurements and test hypotheses in the research. The scientific results indicate that travel agencies with customer orientation, product advantages, and high service performance positively impact customer perceived value. Inter-functional coordination has a moderating effect on customer perceived value and travel agency strategic adaptation. Travel agencies have customer-oriented characteristics that can clearly understand customers’ needs and prioritize them. Constantly reviewing customers’ needs and enhancing their perceived value can lead to increased sales volume in STP market. Effective communication and coordination are the critical effects of cooperation between travel agencies and other tourism industries, and travel agencies should quickly respond to schools and provide tourism products that meet STPs’ needs in Taiwan.
