旅游目的地的传染病暴发往往导致旅行计划取消。对于这些目的地的管理人员来说，重要的是为威胁健康和生命的传染病做好准备并作出反应，以减轻对当地经济和社会的任何负面影响。登革热等蚊媒感染正在全球迅速传播，包括在印度尼西亚的巴厘岛。然而，旅行者往往没有意识到蚊子叮咬造成的健康威胁。旅行者中登革热发病率的增加也可能导致当地人感染登革热。我们跨越了旅行医学、昆虫学和工商管理的学科，进行了一项包括实地考察和文献分析的研究，以解决授权酒店向国际旅行者传播登革热预防和控制信息的建议。实地工作包括与当地卫生当局和酒店协会合作举办的外联讲习班和问卷调查。此外，我们还对几家酒店进行了实地考察。问卷显示，只有67%的参与酒店人员知道登革热是由蚊子传播的。83%的设施报告了蚊子滋扰问题，雾化是最常用的控制措施。我们的分析表明，酒店部门在促进巴厘岛的反登革热意识和活动方面发挥了作用。这样的倡议可以帮助巴厘岛努力实现可持续发展目标的良好健康和福祉。我们的后续研究将包括建设向国际旅行者传播风险的能力，以及酒店的蚊子控制能力。
Infectious disease outbreaks at travel destinations often result in cancellation of travel plans. It is important for the management at such destinations to prepare for, and respond to, health- and life-threatening infectious diseases, to mitigate any negative impact on local economy and society. Mosquito-borne infections, such as dengue, are rapidly spreading globally, including in Bali, Indonesia. However, travellers tend to be unaware of the health threats resulting from mosquito bites. Increased dengue incidence amongst travellers could also result in exposure of the local people to the infection. Traversing the disciplines of Travel Medicine, Entomology and Business Administration, we carried out a study comprising fieldwork and literature analyses, to address the proposed empowerment of hotels to disseminate information on dengue prevention and control to international travellers. The fieldwork included an outreach workshop and questionnaire, conducted by partnering the local health authorities and hotel association. Additionally, we carried out site visits to several hotels. The questionnaire revealed that only 67% of the participating hotel personnel know that dengue is mosquito-borne. Eighty-three percent of the facilities reported mosquito nuisance problems, and fogging was the most utilised control measure of choice. Our analyses indicate that there is a role for the hotel sector in promoting anti-dengue awareness and activities in Bali. Such an initiative could assist Bali to work towards the good health and well-being for the sustainable development goals. Our follow-up studies will include capacity building for risk communication to international travellers, and for mosquito control at hotels.
