Sonuç olarak sağlık turizmi çok çeşitli olup birçok sebebi de içinde barındırmaktadır. Temel sebep, daha iyi imkânlarda farklı bir ülkede sağlığını tekrar elde etmek için yapılan turizm çeşididir.
Health tourism is evaluated under 3 main headings:
• Medical Tourism (treatment in hospitals, operations, etc.)
• Thermal Tourism (Rehabilitation, rest, etc. services in Thermal Facilities)
• Tourism for the Elderly and Disabled (Long-term stays in a geriatric treatment center or highlands with social activities)
The main reasons for health tourism:
• Insufficient or lack of high-tech health services and professional human resources in their country,
• Desire to take a vacation with treatment,
• Health services are expensive in their own country,
• Desiring to receive much higher quality health services,
• Not wanting to know about the operation in his/her country for any reason (aesthetic surgery, Infertility treatment etc.)
• Tourism mobility (going to countries with forests, plateaus, historical and cultural richness) when there is limited opportunity for a holiday in the country's climate and geography, the demand for a holiday in a country where there are mostly thermal facilities and Thermal Tourism opportunities.
• The desire of the chronically ill, the elderly and the disabled to go to other environments and be treated,
• The desire of people with drugs and different addictions to be in different or more suitable environments,
• The person's desire to hold on to life and to live.
As a result, health tourism is very diverse and includes many reasons. The main reason is the type of tourism made to regain health in a different country with better opportunities.
