Medical tourism
Medical tourism means the travel of people to resorts other than their own place of residence for the purpose of obtaining medical treatment and using other tourism and recreation services. Both the treatment of the concrete disease or the patients’ follow-up care are linked to natural resources including thermal waters, medicinal caves, medicinal clay or a unique microclimate. All these factors are available within the framework of spas, health care institutions and sanatoria. So, medical tourism is „the provision of health tourism services with the aim of the concrete improvement of one’s health conditions, including recovery, the reduction of complaints, the stabilization of one’s state or the restoration of lost capabilities (Kincses et. al. 2009)”.
