Abstract



Turkey
is one of the new centers of attraction for healthcare tourism with increasing
efforts for improvement at policy making level. In link with the specific
targets for healthcare tourism income set by the government, this study aims to
analyze historical data of healthcare tourism income of Turkey over 2002-2015
and provide future forecasts. Both annual and quarterly healthcare tourism
income data are analyzed to investigate the share of healthcare tourism income
in aggregate tourism income and to search for seasonal effects. Results
indicate that relying on the high correlation between aggregate tourism and
healthcare tourism income, healthcare
tourism income can be presented and forecasted as a percentage of annual
tourism income. Seasonality
is observed for the aggregate tourism income, where it is also present for healthcare
tourism income between 2002 and 2009. It is also found that Turkey has an upward trend in health and
aggregate tourism income.
