What is Health Tourism?
Health tourism means that people go to a different place from their region of residence and stay in that place for the purpose of recovery. Not only is treatment aimed at factors such as accommodation, nutrition and entertainment also shape this tourism. Recent research shows that health tourism is now shaped in a different topic than when it first emerged. While there are medical diseases and treatments that everyone is familiar with in medical tourism, there are more physical therapy and rehabilitation applications in thermal tourism. Turkey stands out in this aspect as well. Spa-wellness tourism, on the other hand, is a type of tourism that includes therapies that remove fatigue and pain from the body. There are many other branches of health tourism like these.
What kind of a position is Turkey in terms of Health Tourism?
Due to its geographical location, Turkey acts as a bridge between the Middle East, the Balkans, Africa and Europe. Turkey, which stands out with its specialist physicians and health workers, has the opportunity to travel to more than 60 countries without a visa. With these aspects, it has a great potential in terms of health tourism. Incentives were made with legal regulations that allowed foreign doctors to work. In addition, educational support was provided for physicians and other health professionals to know the language, especially in terms of medical tourism.
Turkey develops health tourism every year by supporting policies that allow foreign patients to leave better and more satisfied. In addition, researches suggest that the lower cost of transactions in Turkey compared to other countries is also a factor in the development of health tourism.
