Gesundheits- und Wellnesstourismus in der Welt

Health and wellness tourism is booming worldwide. The ancillary products of this tourism segment include acclimatization, thalassotherapy, spa tourism, medical tourism, aesthetic tourism, assisted living, as well as barrier-free and inclusive tourism. Due to profound climate change, the ecological balance of the blue planet has deteriorated. In this book, the authors emphasize the deep interdependence between human health and well-being and the health of nature. The ethical perspective of health and wellness tourism is analyzed, focusing on the excellence of health procedures, the safety of users, tourists, and residents, as well as the sustainability of tourism. Based on the examined bibliography, which includes more than three hundred sixty books from various fields and study visits to different destinations, a holistic, interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, complex, and ecological approach to health and wellness tourism is chosen. This book is essential for anyone involved in approving, supervising, designing, and managing health and wellness tourism businesses, including health technicians, tourism experts, entrepreneurs, policymakers, educators, and students.
