Tourism is one of the most important promoters of sustainable development in many nations and regions around the globe. Tourism expansion has been a significant contributor to social and economic growth, particularly in developing economies. It is, however, vulnerable to all kinds of health crises and natural disasters, no matter how small they are. The primary purpose of this study is to acquire an empirical understanding of the effects of health crises and disasters on international tourism. The SYS-GMM was used to examine the impact of health calamities and crises, carbon footprints from transportation, and green finance on the tourism of 51 countries between 2007 and 2020. The results showed that health crises and natural disasters have a big effect on international tourism. Alternatively, the presence of eco-friendly and secure transportation at tourist destinations has a positive effect on the tourism industry. The results also showed that environmental expenditures have positive short- and long-term effects on international tourism. Furthermore, the sensitivity of travelers to health crises and natural disasters varies over the short and long term. The study also showed that compared to normal times, international tourism dropped by more than 67% during COVID-19. Consequently, this research assists us in comprehending, predicting, and preventing the potential adverse effects of COVID-19 and other similar economic, health disasters and crises that could occur in the future and harm the tourism industry.

“…In a different study, Lee (2010) discussed the relationship between health and international tourism and found a positive relationship between health and international tourism in the long term. Cheah and Abdul-Rahim (2014) examined the relationship between tourism development and health expenditures and found a positive relationship between the development of tourism and health expenditures. Shahbaz et al (2016) discussed the relationship between health expenditures, welfare level, and tourism revenues and concluded that there is a mutual causality relationship between these variables.…”

Today, developing technology, new treatment methods and quality health services enable individuals to live a longer and healthier life. In this context, individuals allocate more budget for their health. While these increasing expenditures indicate healthy and long-lived individuals, they also represent more potential tourist candidates in terms of tourism activities. The main purpose of the study is to examine the causality relationship between health expenditures and the number of tourists. To analyze this relationship, the variables of number of tourists and per capita health expenditures were used. The sample of the study consists of G7 countries. In examining the relationship between the health expenditures of these countries and the variables of the number of tourists they send, panel causality test was performed by using the data for the period 1995-2017. According to the findings obtained; In this study, which deals with the causality relationship between the number of tourists and health expenditures in G7 countries, health expenditures are not the cause of the number of tourists; It shows that the number of tourists is not the cause of health spending. When the individual panel findings are evaluated, it is seen that health expenditures are the reason for the number of tourists only in Germany and Italy. As expected theoretically, the number of tourists is not the cause of health spending. The findings obtained cannot be mentioned that health expenditures have increased, but they have a sufficient effect on tourism movements of individuals. In other words, it can be inferred that more therapeutic services increase in the health expenditure composition. These findings are important for policy makers as they show that health sector development has positive effects on international tourism in the long term.

Health tourism is defined as travels to a country other than the country of residence for the continuation of the well-being of people, improving of health and in case of illness, treatment, care and rehabilitation. Tourism activity within the scope of health tourism has grown rapidly in the last decade, and has led countries to take part in the sector in this field with the added value it provides to the economies. In this study, the relationship between health tourism and economic growth was investigated by using the hidden cointegration test of, Hatemi-J-Irandoust ( 2012) and the time varying asymmetric causality analysis. For this purpose, quarterly data between the periods 2002: q2-2020: q1 were used. With this examination, the hidden cointegration relationship in which asymmetric effects reflecting positive and negative shocks are included in the analysis can be revealed. The findings show that there is a long-term hidden cointegration relationship between variables in positive and negative shock situations. In addition, the causality relationship between health tourism growth and economic growth has been examined with time-varying asymmetric causality analysis. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that there is a causality relationship between the positive and negative shocks of the variables, but the causality relationship has not remained constant over time, it has changed.
