why singular form here?

I read in a magazine the following paragraph:
The airline's "Wings of China" magazine reportedly provides safety advice to travellers based on the race and nationality of local residents."

Why "the RACE and NATIONALITY" instead of the pluralism form?
Thanks:)

The statement is made from the viewpoint of providing advice to each traveler so that each traveler gets different advice. Each traveler has only one race and one nationality. CJ
