“…According to Wilder-Smith et al (2015), requiring immigrants to provide corresponding vaccination certificates is a reasonable step. In addition, regular inspection and monitoring of the health status of related enterprises and systems can play a role in early detection and timely control of an epidemic, which is particularly effective for foodborne and waterborne diseases (Kocazeybek et al, 2016). Knowledge on health risk and personal protection can prevent risk factors; thus, it makes sense to provide travelers with counseling services, lectures and courses, medical services during travel, and public protection awareness (Selcuk et al, 2016).…”

This study analyzes the contents of 115 articles related to the risk of tourism diseases to investigate research development trends from the period after the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome to early 2020. The main findings show that researchers lack attention to the risk posed by tourism-related diseases, and research on these diseases is often synchronized with the occurrence of major international diseases and the development trends in tourism. Additionally, diseases are related to tourism, and they can interact with each other; research on disease risk management lacks a theoretical basis and the research themes are uneven.

International travel has increased as a result of social development, advances in information and communication technologies, and improved life standards. Reports from the World Tourism Organization indicate that the global number of international tourists reached 1.2 billion in 2015, an increase of 4.6% from the previous year [1]. Tourism is also growing steadily in Turkey. According to the Turkish Statistical Institute, the number of passengers using airports for international departures reached 71 million in 2016 [2]. Increases in tourism also bring increases in travel-related diseases. Depending on the destination, 22-64% of tourists experience health problems [3]. Most of the conditions associated with infection are self-limiting diseases such as diarrhea and respiratory and skin infections [4,5]. Less than 1% of patients require hospitalization [6]. Noninfectious health problems that may occur during travel include car sickness, jet lag, venous thrombosis,
