| Abstract: | The major function of this introduction to the special issue of Tourism Review on health and medical tourism is to outline some of main issues that exist in the academic literature in this quickly developing field. The paper identifies a few of the interrelationships between different areas of health and medical tourism, including wellness and wellbeing tourism, dental tourism, stem-cell tourism, transplant tourism, abortion tourism, and xeno-tourism. The development of international medical tourism is demonstrated to have potentially remarkable implications for global public health. |
