The health tourism sector, which is located at the intersection of the health sector and the tourism sector, has sub-branches such as medical tourism, thermal tourism, spa and wellness tourism, elderly and disabled health tourism, and our country has shown a significant development especially in the field of medical tourism in recent years. Health tourism law is an interdisciplinary field of law that is in relation with many main legal disciplines such as health law, private international law, law of obligations, criminal law and administrative law.
The fact that the health tourism sector, which is subject to extremely strict formal requirements and supervision conditions due to the fact that it covers a sensitive area such as health services, is also one of the foreign currency earning service export sectors, has brought about the encouragement of the sector and the support of health facilities and intermediary organizations carrying out health tourism activities by the state. In this context, there are many incentives, support and tax advantages for organizations operating in this sector.
