“…Numerous studies [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] have explored the risks and diseases tourists come upon abroad. One large comprehensive study in the USA of 17,988 non-US resident visitors [21] noted that the leading cause of death was cardiovascular diseases (45%), with injury (23%) ranking second.…”

“…Although they also included transportation injuries, the pattern of causes of deaths was similar to that reported in the present study. Additionally, the majority of studies [14–19] involving travelers noted the leading cause of death to be cardiovascular diseases, as well. Couch [23] even discussed the role of trans‐meridian travel on sudden cardiac deaths, hypothesizing the possible pathophysiologic involvement of circadian, flight, or other types of stress on acute coronary events such as coronary spasm and coronary thrombosis.…”

The hotel industry is essential for travelers, for both touristic and business purposes. Deaths in hotel rooms, which can occur in various manners from various causes, can result in serious problems for the industry. This study evaluated 8137 autopsies performed by the Antalya Group Administration of the Turkish Council of Forensic Medicine between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2019. All deaths occurred during a hotel accommodation and within hotel borders, including their respective beach areas, and those who collapsed during their hotel stay and died shortly afterward in a hospital or on their way to a hospital were included. A total of 900 cases were identified and ultimately included in this study. According to the autopsy reports, the decedents who died during their stays were from 42 different countries and had a mean age of 54.3 ± 18.55 years. Most decedents were from Russia (n = 251, 27.9%). The most common manner of death was natural causes (n = 552, 61.3%) followed by accidents (n = 284, 31.6%), suicides (n = 40, 4.4%), and homicides (n = 7, 0.8%). Existing cardiovascular diseases (n = 379, 42.1%) were the leading cause of death, followed by drowning in the sea (n = 116, 12.9%) or a pool (n = 58, 6.4%). Most of the causes of deaths identified within this study are preventable with timely intervention or resuscitation. Providing medical personnel 24/7 with adequate equipment in accommodation options, and enabling hotels to take appropriate measures may decrease preventable deaths and improve international travel.

“…Injury is an unpredictable event and when traveling is sometimes ignored due to lack of prevention and protection against injury (4). The World Health Organization reports that injury prevention during pre-travel consultations is very important, especially understanding of the risks that could potentially result in injury should be emphasized to prospective tourists (5). The risk of death caused by injury is 25 times compared to infectious disease (6).…”

Background: Injuries are the highest cause of death for international tourists, especially injuries caused by traffic accidents. The severity level of injury is the most cause of death. It is necessary to analyze the risk factor of injury severity among international travelers visiting Bali. Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for injury severity in foreign tourists visiting Bali. Methods: This cross-sectional analytic study used foreign tourists visiting an international hospital in Bali as the research sample. This research was conducted by analyzing medical records using Injury Severity Score. Data on respondent characteristics, including age, gender, and injury characteristics, including location, type of injury, degree of severity, and injury mechanism, were analyzed using cross-tabulation. Results: The most types of trauma were closed fractures, 49 people (45.4%), and the most common causes were traffic accidents, namely 39 (36.1%) people. Based on the injury region, the lower Extremity is 36 (33.3%) mostly. Conclusion: Age, gender, type of injury, and mechanism of the accident was significant factor influencing the severity of injury among travelers visiting Bali (p<0.05).

Turizm sektörünün önceliği tüketiciyi memnun ederek ve seyahate katılanlara eşsiz deneyimler yaşatarak tüketim kültürünü ve turizm piyasasını daha fazla geliştirmektedir. Piyasa bağımlılığı yüksek olan turizm akademisi de sektörün gelişmesine yönelik konuları daha fazla önemsemekte ve sektörün görmezden geldiği turist kazaları, hastalıkları ve ölümleri gibi konulardan uzak durmaktadır. Popüler medyada gündem olan ancak turizm araştırmalarında ihmal edilen konulardan birisi seyahatler sırasında yaşanan turist ölümleridir. Türkiye'de turist ölümlerine yönelik yapılan çalışmaların oldukça yetersiz olması bu çalışmanın temel motivasyonunu oluşturmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'de yaşanan turist ölümlerinin nedenlerini, ölen turistlerin cinsiyete, yaşa ve milliyetlerine göre durumlarını Antalya örnekleminde incelemek, turizmin sosyal yönünü ilgilendiren turist ölümleri konusunda farkındalık oluşturmak ve literatüre katkı sağlamaktır. Çalışmada veri kaynağı olarak Antalya ilinde yerel yayın yapan iki gazetenin arşivlerinden yararlanılmıştır. 2017 ve 2018 yıllarına ait gazete haberleri taranmış, toplamda 59 turist ölümü sayısına ulaşılmıştır ve bu turist ölümleri değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen verilere göre; ölen turistlerin çoğunluğunu orta yaş grubundaki erkek turistler oluşturmaktadır ve bunlar içerisinde Rusya ve Almanya'dan gelen turistler ön sırada yer almaktadır. Turistlerin ölüm nedeni ise genellikle boğulma ve kazalardır. Bununla birlikte Türkiye'deki turist ölümlerinin toplumsal, mekânsal, psikolojik, hukuki, siyasi etkilerinin farklı disiplinler tarafından derinlemesine araştırılmaya ihtiyacı vardır.
