The Routledge Handbook of Health Tourism provides a comprehensive
and cutting-edge overview of the philosophical, conceptual and
managerial issues in the field of health tourism with contributions
from more than 30 expert academics and practitioners from around
the world. Terms that are used frequently when defining health
tourism, such as wellbeing, wellness, holistic, medical and
spiritual, are analysed and explored, as is the role that health
and health tourism play in quality-of-life enhancement, wellbeing,
life satisfaction and happiness. An overview is provided of health
tourism facilities such as thermal waters, spas, retreats and
wellness hotels and the various challenges inherent in managing
these profitably and sustainably. Typologies are given not only of
subsectors of health tourism and related activities but also of
destinations, such as natural landscapes, historic townscapes or
individual resources or attractions around which whole
infrastructures have been developed. Attention is paid to some of
the lifestyle changes that are taking place in societies which
influence consumer behaviour, motivations and demand for health
tourism, including government policies, regulations and ethical
considerations. This significant volume offers the reader a
comprehensive synthesis of this field, conveying the latest
thinking and research. The text is international in focus,
encouraging dialogue across disciplinary boundaries and areas of
study and will be an invaluable resource for all those with an
interest in health tourism.
