Küresel sağlıktan sağlık turizmine COVID-19

Abstract

Günümüzde nüfusun artış hızı sınırlı kaynaklar üzerindeki baskıyı arttırmış, doğal ve sosyal çevrelerin kalitesini de değiştirmiştir. Küresel turizm sisteminin gelişimi küresel kaynak kullanımını doğurmuştur. COVID-19 salgını gezegensel zaman ve mekân sıkıştırmasının bir sonucudur. Küresel olarak sürdürülebilirlik yönünde sistemsel anlamlı değişim olmaması sonucunda zoonoz salgınlarla karşı karşıya kalınmıştır. Küreselleşme süreçlerinin hem olumlu hem de olumsuz etkilerinin ayrılmaz bir parçası olan seyahat ve turizm endüstrisinin COVID- 19 salgınından etkilenme düzeyi yüksek olmuştur. Bu makalede Covid-19 salgını öncesi turizmin küresel yapısına ve salgının turizm üzerindeki etkilerine kısaca bakılarak, salgın sonrasında turizmin beklenen dönüşümüne ilişkin çerçeve oluşturulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu makale kaleme alındığı sırada Türkiye’ye yönelik turist akışına ilişkin veriler yayımlanmadığı için salgın sürecinde iç turizm hareketliliğinden yola çıkılarak salgın ve sağlık turizminin geleceğine ilişkin öngörüler paylaşılmıştır. Son olarak da turizmin dönüşüm sürecinde Türkiye’nin konumlandırılmasına ilişkin öneriler sunulmuştur.

COVID-19 from global health to health tourism

Abstract

Today, the population growth rate has increased the pressure on limited resources and has changed the quality of natural and social environments. In addition, as in other sectors, the development of a global tourism system has led to the use of global resources. New zoonotic epidemics have been faced as a result of the absence of a systemic change, that is, the world has progressed very slowly towards global sustainability. The emergence of COVID-19 in 2019 and 2020 has significantly affected the tourism industry as it has affected other sectors. In this article, it is aimed to create a framework for the expected transformation of tourism after the Covid-19 epidemic by briefly looking at the global structure of tourism and the effects of the epidemic on tourism. This article penned at the time of the outbreak has not been released to process data on the flow of tourists to Turkey starting from domestic tourism mobility epidemic and projections regarding the future of health tourism are shared. Finally, proposals have been made for positioning in the transformation process of Turkey’s tourism.
