“…The public utilities infrastructure is ranked in the first place by its importance and in the third place by its performance. The value of this indicator and its good position are significant because the infrastructure improves the quality of the host community"s living standard (Maneenetr & Tran, 2014) and is important for matching infrastructure and public utilities with the users" (Sakolnakorn, Naipinit, & Kroeksakul, 2013) and investors" demand. This indicator is of special importance to tourism, since tourist facilities depend on the quality and condition of public utilities.…”

In this paper IPA (importance–performance analysis) is used to assess location attractiveness for investments as a competitiveness factor in Serbian tourism. Based on the theory of Dunning’s eclectic paradigm, regarding locational advantages as a factor for investments, twelve key indicators were selected for assessment by stakeholders in the private and public sectors. The conclusion derived from the analysis implies that Serbia is under performing in relation to the importance of the selected indicators. The largest proportion of indicators is classified as the ‘concentrate here’ strategy type in the IPA matrix. The conclusions regarding the importance and performance of indicators allocated to other quadrants (especially ‘low priority’ and ‘possible overkill’) are also significant. This paper establishes the bases for analysis that can help both the public and the private sector to develop strategies for the development of tourism and the competitiveness of Serbia as a tourist destination, referring to investments (locational advantages) as a competitiveness factor.

Background In response to the 2015–2016 Zika virus (ZIKV) outbreak and the causal relationship established between maternal ZIKV infection and adverse infant outcomes, we conducted a cohort study to estimate the incidence of ZIKV infection in pregnancy and assess its impacts in women and infants. Methodology/Principal findings From May 2018-January 2020, we prospectively followed pregnant women recruited from 134 participating hospitals in two non-adjacent provinces in northeastern Thailand. We collected demographic, clinical, and epidemiologic data and blood and urine at routine antenatal care visits until delivery. ZIKV infections were confirmed by real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR). Specimens with confirmed ZIKV underwent whole genome sequencing. Among 3,312 women enrolled, 12 (0.36%) had ZIKV infections, of which two (17%) were detected at enrollment. Ten (83%, 3 in 2nd and 7 in 3rd trimester) ZIKV infections were detected during study follow-up, resulting in an infection rate of 0.15 per 1,000 person-weeks (95% CI: 0.07–0.28). The majority (11/12, 91.7%) of infections occurred in one province. Persistent ZIKV viremia (42 days) was found in only one woman. Six women with confirmed ZIKV infections were asymptomatic until delivery. Sequencing of 8 ZIKV isolates revealed all were of Asian lineage. All 12 ZIKV infected women gave birth to live, full-term infants; the only observed adverse birth outcome was low birth weight in one (8%) infant. Pregnancies in 3,300 ZIKV-rRT-PCR-negative women were complicated by 101 (3%) fetal deaths, of which 67 (66%) had miscarriages and 34 (34%) had stillbirths. There were no differences between adverse fetal or birth outcomes of live infants born to ZIKV-rRT-PCR-positive mothers compared to live infants born to ZIKV-rRT-PCR-negative mothers. Conclusions/Significance Confirmed ZIKV infections occurred infrequently in this large pregnancy cohort and observed adverse maternal and birth outcomes did not differ between mothers with and without confirmed infections.

Tourism is a major factor in economic growth and development, especially in rural tourism trends where it is a stimulus for sustainable development. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of economic, environmental, and social factors on the sustainable development of tourism in Kosovo. Also, structural (questionnaire) data were used because this method is more effective and helps us to collect reliable data to achieve the objectives of the study. The sample in this research is 85 individuals that we have discovered who have visited these tourist places during 2021. The collected data are processed using the program SPSS 23 (Statistical Package for Social Scientists). To confirm the hypotheses in this research we used the method of correlation and linear regression. Rural tourism has a positive impact on the development of the local economy, increasing the number of jobs, increasing the quality of businesses, developing local culture, increasing local knowledge and it helps raise awareness of residents.
