摘要

跟团游在亚洲比在其他地区更受欢迎。为了在有限的时间内以较低的费用与一群人一起游览多个景点，GPT与一些潜在的健康危害有关，包括用餐时间有限和地面交通的长时间。旅游团领队是评估相关健康结果的良好对象，我们对台湾旅游团领队进行问卷调查。除了152名领队外，我们还招募了旅行社的办公室工作人员作为推荐人。领队更容易患消化性溃疡/胃炎、胃食管反流病和腰痛。这些疾病的风险随着工作时间的延长而增加，这表明两者之间存在因果关系。结果表明，限制用餐时间和长时间乘坐地面交通工具是与GPT相关的潜在健康危害，并可能导致某些健康后果。

Health risks associated with group package tour: implications from a study on tour leaders in Taiwan

ABSTRACT Group package tour (GPT) is more popular among Asia than in other regions. To visit multiple attractions with a group of people within limited time at low costs, GPT is associated with some potential health hazards, including restricted meal time and long periods of time on ground transportation. Tour leaders are a good target for assessing the associated health outcomes, and we conducted a questionnaire survey on tour leaders in Taiwan. In addition to 152 tour leaders, we recruited office staff of tour agencies as references. Tour leaders were more likely to have peptic ulcer/gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and lower back pain. The risks of these conditions increased as working on the job longer, indicating a causal relationship. The results suggest that restricted meal time and long periods of time travelling on ground transportation vehicles are potential health hazards associated with GPT and may lead to certain health outcomes.
