1. What Is Health Tourism?

Health tourism refers to traveling from one’s place of residence to another country for the purpose of protecting, improving, or restoring health, while benefiting from healthcare and tourism services. Individuals who travel for this purpose are called health tourists.

In the past, this term generally described visits from developing countries to healthcare centers in developed countries. Today, however, the direction of international patient mobility has begun to change. Due to affordable costs and alternative treatment options, patients from developed countries are also traveling to other countries as health tourists.
