What is Health Tourism?
As a result of the meeting of the words ‘health’ and ‘tourism’ which cannot be reconciled in etymological terms, the concept of ‘Health Tourism‘ emerged. The main reason for the emergence of this concept is the increased demand in getting a treatment abroad. In addition, patients who travel to another country for treatment abroad are called ‘health tourists’. In health tourism, the aim of the patient is not only to go to the hospital abroad and get a treatment.The patients enjoy the trip where the clinic or hospital is located, just as if they are on a vacation to rest their soul.Therefore, it is not right to consider health tourism only as ‘treatment abroad’. Health tourism, which is a type of tourism that is of serious importance today, provides both physiological and psychological rest by beautifying the process of rejuvenating the person’s health.
