Assisting the tourism-aware group of farmers at Curug Ciparakan is a strategic effort to enhance safety standards in tourist activities by visitors. The farmer group plays a role as managers, receiving first aid training and contributing to the development of branding and promotion for tourism. This assistance has successfully increased the preparedness of tourism managers, created a safe environment, and has the potential to boost tourist visits. Emergency evacuation procedures, first aid training, the development of warning systems, and the procurement of safety equipment are the focal points of the assistance. The implementation of safety Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and collaboration with relevant authorities contributes to the effective management of the tourism environment. Collaborations with educational institutions, relevant agencies, and healthcare facilities are essential to explore opportunities for innovative service development and enhance knowledge about tourist safety. Simulations, the use of technology, and the utilization of tools around the tourism site, which can be used to provide first aid in case of accidents, are carried out during this assistance. In conclusion, this assistance not only improves awareness among managers but also creates a sustainable tourist destination that empowers the local community.

“…It assumes that people travel because of socio-psychological (internal) motives which were drivers (pushed them) to travel (pull). Push motives include recovery after an illness or injury, removal of negative results of stress, addiction treatment, the decision to improve one's health or health prophylaxis [28,29]. External (pull) motives associated with destination's attributes explain the choice of destination and they include: expectations, bene ts, travel perception or attributes of the destination [30,31].…”

Background The objective of the study was to indicate social and psychological (inner) motives associated with the desire and needs of travelling to health resorts (push) as well as external motives resulting from destination's attributes, and explaining the choice of the health tourism establishment (pull) by Polish treatment-seekers divided into two social groups: persons in employment and retired persons. The research hypothesis assumed the two groups of people differ very much in terms of preferences motivating them to participate in health resort tourism, destination choices and services offered by health resort establishments. Methods Of the 258 health resorts, 154 establishments were selected for research purposes taking into account a proportional distribution of health resorts throughout Poland. An authorial questionnaire was developed and it included three questions with multiple answers, each answer being assessed on a 5-point Likert scale. The research adds new insights by analysing motives associated with health resort tourism in terms of benefits sought by visitors. The main and strongest motive for choosing health resort tourism is concern for health. In addition to old age pensioners, it was legitimate to analyse the group of employed respondents as their stays at a health resort are undertaken to regain not only physical fitness but also work motivation. Results The present study has demonstrated that motives and age groups have a significant effect on destination choice. Based on the results, it can be concluded that these groups often have diverse needs, expectations and, as a result, motives for choosing this form of tourism and a given health resort. What follows is a possibility of dividing the visitors to health resorts in terms of push and pull motives. Conclusions The research hypothesis assuming the two groups varied considerably in terms of preferences motivating them to participate in health resort tourism, destination selection and choice of services offered by the health resort establishment has been confirmed. The ramifications of the study's findings may also be relevant for health resort/spa tourism outside of Poland because healthy lifestyle promotion is a worldwide trend.

“…A number of recent reviews have examined wellness tourism broadly but with limited focus on the traditional health tourism niche. For example, Roman et al (2022) reviewed the health tourism literature without an in-depth examination of traditional health modalities. Dini and Pencarelli (2021) looked at components of wellness tourism offerings without concentrating on THT.…”

This systematic literature review explores the research stream of traditional health tourism (THT) by covering a time frame of two decades. This research aimed to identify the key research areas and themes in the THT literature and proposed a research framework for further investigation. A total of 29 selected articles were analyzed and classified into seven categories, which included national contexts, products and services, driving factors, challenges in the development of THT and so forth. The analysis of the selected articles involved providing a descriptive analysis of the articles, followed by discussion of the content of the articles according to the themes. Additionally, gaps were identified in the literature on THTs. The research framework proposed in this review comprises eleven recommendations, which act as a roadmap for future investigations, encouraging researchers to engage in cross-cultural analyses, mixed-methods studies, and further investigations into different critical factors that affect THT. Thus, the review has significant implications because it provides a future research agenda, and the practical implications can be extended to the tourism industry and policymakers.
