dc.description.abstract To become a country with a high market share in the international health tourism market, it is necessary to compete with the other countries in the sector. In this competitive environment, the current position of Turkey in the health tourism sector has both weak and strong sides.

The income obtained from the tourists visiting the country to benefit from this type of tourism, this income advancing the economies of the country and the region, offering different social and cultural exchanges between countries and the exchange of skills, information and technology are some of these. The focus of this review is to cultivate the current situation of health tourism, which is rapidly developing all over the earth, in Turkey, to determine the necessary aspects and needs and to present tourism recommendations.In this framework, the objective of the analysis is to determine Turkey's current situation in health tourism based on data, evaluate the developments, and propose suggestions for the future studies and researches as a compilation.
