HEALTH AS A REASON FOR TOURISM
Mousa mineral
water spring in Tamin village, Sistan-Baluchestan province
It was not until the
19th century
that
cultural
tourism developed into leisure and
health
tourism. Some travelers, after visiting the warm lands of
the South of Europe, decided to stay there either for the cold
season or for the rest of their lives. Others began to visit places
with health-giving
mineral
waters, in order to relieve a whole variety of diseases
from
gout
to
liver
disorders and
bronchitis.
Health
tourism: Usually to escape from cities or relieve
stress, perhaps for some 'fun in the sun', etc. Often to "health
spas".
People travel for a variety of reasons:
business, congresses, cultural enrichment, ecological explorations,
family reunions and to visit with friends; but the most ancient and
most frequent reason to engage in tourism is health.
The 1983 World Tourism Meeting stated
that "the right to rest, a natural consequence of the right to work,
must be affirmed as a fundamental right in terms of human
happiness". In this context, tourism serves to fulfill the basic
human need to recover mental and physical well-being.
When the right for vacations was
achieved by employees, it was defined as leisure time aimed at
recovering capacity to work, thus meant to be spent in quality
environment proper for the recovery of physical and mental strength.
This need for recovery of working capacity is even more true
now-a-days as demonstrated by the growing trend by employees to
request more frequent yet shorter vacations rather than one long
annual vacation.
The growing popularity of vacationing at
spas and thermal baths is another indication of how health and
tourism are related; constituting what has been named "therapeutic
travel."
This form of travel accounts for the
popularity of thousands of such places around the world. Many of
these places associate leisure time with professional care for
weight loss, physical fitness, rehabilitation and stress reduction.
Many of them incorporate programs for treatment of drug and alcohol
addiction. Health tourism accounts for 7 percent of the entire
industry
worldwide. Traveling to
other countries to benefit from the healing effects of natural
springs is gaining more popularity around the globe
Tourism is no longer seen as a privilege
and a luxury. It is perceived as a very basic right in order to
recover mental and physical well-being, thus re-establishing the
capacity for an active life.
Iran health tourism
attraction
Iran prides itself on a large number of
mineral water springs with proven health benefits. The therapeutic
effects of several springs have yet to be recognized, though. The
hot water in Damavand region, near Tehran, is one of the best
resources available worldwide for healing skin diseases and
maintaining a healthy fresh skin.
Thanks to its numerous natural hot water
springs and highly equipped hospitals with specialist personnel and
skilled physicians, Iran has the capacity to become a popular
destination for health and medical tourists
Medical costs are much lower in Iran
compared to other Persian Gulf littoral states and Central Asia--not
to mention the higher standards of medical services and equipment
here.
Spas (mineral water) as a fantastic
phenomena because of cerement characteristic, has always been
interesting for tourists, specially in Iran. Every year thousands of
tourists come to Iran to take bath in Iran mineral water pool for
different diseases, like skin diseases, nervous valmative and etc.-
