This study was conducted to determine the place and importance of thermal and SPA- wellness tourism which are type of health tourism. In the study with qualitative research, the study group was determined by the purposeful sampling method. The data were collected through interviews. During the interviews, it was determined that the participants have no clear information about the differences between thermal and SPA-wellness tourism and they think that it is a neglected tourism so far and they also think that this tourism is potentially open to development. For the development of thermal tourism and SPA-wellness tourism, appropriate strategies should be prepared after determining the current situation. It is also important to train both the relevant employees of the Ministry of Health, the operating personnel providing this service, and the intermediary institution personnel and it is also important to provide government incentives for the development of tourism.
