Abstract

Against the backdrop of the worsening global aging trend and the expansion of sub-health populations, health tourism, as a new way of combining health and tourism, has gradually become a hot topic of concern for academia and policymakers. As the demand for health and wellness services grows globally, health tourism has emerged as a promising sector that bridges medical care, wellness, and leisure activities. This article systematically reviews the research of health and wellness tourism policies from 2000 to 2024, from a multidimensional perspective, combined with domestic and foreign policy practice experience, it sorts out the research status, evolution laws, and development trends of health and wellness tourism policies. By providing both theoretical support and practical inspiration, this research aims to guide policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers in advancing health tourism as a vital component of the global health and economic landscape and promote the lasting growth of health tourism.
