About this book

Due to a variety of socioeconomic factors that encourage people to achieve and pursue a better quality of life, health, wellness, and medical tourism are now acknowledged as among the most developed and expanding segments of the thriving tourism industry. However, these forms of tourism face a number of difficulties, among which is the disparity between its various conceptual approaches and definitions. The primary objective of this volume is to sum up and explain emerging factors in the Health, Tourism and Hospitality industry to offer a better understanding to stakeholders in the business. The concepts of health and wellbeing are occasionally used interchangeably, despite the fact that there are some contrasts between them. For example, the goal of a traveler may be to improve well-being, health or prevent illness. Wellness and healthcare tourism are seen as sub-concepts of health tourism from this point of view. Wellbeing tourism contrasts from healthcare tourism with regards to travel motives. The primary purpose of travel in healthcare tourism is to treat illness, whereas the goal of travel in wellness tourism is to prevent disease or maintain one's health and well-being. The objective of wellness tourism is not only to maintain well-being and prevent illness, but also to enjoy luxury and pleasure.
