This paper evaluates the economic implications of eradication of Malaria, Dengue, Yellow Fever and Ebola on the affected destination countries focusing on the tourist expenditures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Methods\u2003A gravity model for international tourism flows is used to provide an estimation of the impact of each travel-related disease on international tourist arrivals. Next the potential eradication of these diseases in the affected countries is simulated and the impact on tourism expenditures is estimated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Findings\u2003The results show that, in the case of Malaria, Dengue, Yellow Fever and Ebola, the eradication of these diseases in the affected countries would result in an increase of around 10 million of tourist worldwide and a rise in the tourism expenditure of 12 billion dollars.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion\u2003By analysing the economic benefits of the eradication of Dengue, Ebola, Malaria, and Yellow Fever for the tourist sector\u2014a strategic economic sector for many of the countries where these TRD are present\u2014this paper explores a new aspect of the quantification of health policies which should be taken into consideration in future international health assessment programmes. It is important to note that the analysis is only made of the direct impact of the diseases\u2019 eradication and consequently the potential multiplicative effects of a growth in the GDP, in terms of tourism attractiveness, are not evaluated. Consequently, the economic results can be considered to be skeleton ones.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/heapol\/czw177","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,12,21]],"date-time":"2016-12-21T15:07:40Z","timestamp":1482332860000},"page":"538-548","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":150,"title":["Infectious
