What is Health Tourism?
In the globalizing world; The increase in cooperation between countries, freedom of travel and opportunities, providing convenience in transportation, the development of quality in health care in different parts of the world, and both individual and budget-related difficulties in health care financing have increased the importance of the concept of health tourism in the world.
Today, the problems that occur as a result of industrialization and urbanization have negative effects on human and public health. In unhealthy societies, workforce and production capacity are decreasing. In order to protect human health, increase labor productivity and production, natural tourism resources (clean air, sun, healing thermal waters, climate) opportunities are utilized.
Health tourism is the visit of individuals to another country other than their country of residence in order to receive preventive and curative, rehabilitative and health-promoting services. Health tourism is a sector that allows the growth of health institutions by using the mobility potential for international health purposes.
