In this direction, disabled tourism started to gain value for every country day by day.…”

Son yıllarda hizmet ihracatında artış yaşanan hizmet sektörlerinden birisi de sağlık turizmi olmuştur. Sağlık turisti sayısı ve turizm geliri artışında kuşkusuz küreselleşmenin, iletişim teknolojilerinin ve ulaşım imkanlarının gelişmesi, gelişmiş ülkelerde bekleme sürelerinin uzaması ve sağlık hizmetinde artan maliyet baskıları en önemli etken olmuştur. Ülkemizde turizm politikalarının önemli konularından birisi haline gelen sağlık turizmi, ekonomik anlamda ülke gelirine artı değer katmakta ve var olan mevcut imkanların da kullanımına sebep olarak sadece “sağlık” olarak değil diğer turizm aktivitelerini de içinde barındıran fırsatlar sunmaktadır. Katma değeri oldukça yüksek olan bu sektörün gelişiminde son yıllarda izlenen olumlu ulusal politikalar, verilen devlet destekleri ve teşvikler önemli rol oynamıştır. Nitekim 2003 yılında sağlık turizmi amacıyla ülkemizi ziyaret eden kişi sayısı 139.971 kişiden 2019 yılında 662.087'e, gelir ise 203 milyon dolardan bir milyar doların üzerine çıkmıştır. Hükümet tarafından verilen teşvik türlerinde ve teşvik oranlarında önemli artışlar görülmüştür. Bu çalışmada sağlık turizmi ve gelişimi, sağlık turizminde devlet desteği ve teşvikler konuları kavramsal olarak ele alınmıştır.
