Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Travel Medicine
  • Tourism Research

Background:

  • The Australian tourism industry is a significant economic contributor, employing a substantial portion of the workforce.
  • Traditionally, tourism research focused on economic and marketing aspects, with less emphasis on health and safety.
  • Travel medicine, while a niche field, plays a crucial role in traveler health within the tourism sector.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing Australian research in travel medicine.
  • To identify gaps in empirical research within Australian travel medicine.
  • To highlight areas for future research to improve patient care.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of available Australian research on travel medicine.
  • Analysis of the current state of empirical studies in the field.
  • Identification of research needs based on existing literature.

Main Results:

  • Empirical research in Australian travel medicine is notably scarce.
  • Field studies, crucial for accurate medical advice, are underrepresented.
  • Existing research does not fully address the needs of the tourism industry.

Conclusions:

  • There is a critical need for increased empirical research in Australian travel medicine.
  • Further studies are essential to provide accurate and evidence-based medical advice for travelers.
  • Addressing research gaps will enhance the health and safety aspects of the tourism industry.
