 Health tourism is actually thousands of years old. In ancient Greece, pilgrims and patients came from everywhere the Mediterranean to the sanctuary of the healing god, Asklepios, at Epidaurus. In Roman Britain, patients took the waters at a shrine at Bath, a practice that continued for 2000 years. From the 18th century wealthy Europeans travelled to spas from Germany to the Nile. Since the first nineteenth century, when there have been no restrictions on travel in Europe, people visited neighboring countries so as to enhance their health. In the 21st century, relatively low-cost jet travel has taken the industry beyond the rich and desperate. Later, mostly wealthy people began traveling to tourist destinations a bit like Swiss lakes, Alps and special tuberculosis sanatoriums, where professional and sometimes specialized medical care was offered. In this century, however, medical tourism expanded to a way larger scale. Tourism arranged the travel industry goals, for example, comprehensive retreats, gated resort networks, private luxury ship possessed islands and privatized sea shores, have expanded in the course of the most recent couple of decades. Scientists have broke down these sorts of the travel industry situations as enclaves, which are normally determined by outer powers and entertainers, emphatically upheld by globalization and the current neoliberal market economy. Existing exploration shows that travel industry enclaves are portrayed by dynamic fringe making, power issues and material as well as emblematic partition from the encompassing socio-social real factors, prompting feeble linkages with has networks and the nearby economy.
