ABSTRACT
I derme health-care tourism as the attempt on the part of a tourist facility, such as an hotel or destination, for example, Baden in Switzerland or Bath in England, to attract tourists by deliberately promoting its health-care services and facilities, in addition to its regular tourist amenities. These health-care services may include medical examinations by qualified doctors and nurses at resorts or hotels, special diets, acupuncture, transvital injections, vitamin-complex intakes, special medical treatments for various diseases such as arthritis, and herbal remedies (see Table 11.1).
