Öz
Health and Management of Tourism Services: Tourism Health, Health Problems of Tourism Services, authored by Dr. Haluk Tanrıverdi, is a comprehensive academic work that explores the multifaceted relationship between tourism and health. It addresses a significant gap in tourism literature by examining tourism not merely as an economic activity but as a phenomenon with broad socio-cultural, environmental, and public health implications. The book conceptualizes "tourism health" through various theoretical lenses, including biomedical, behavioral, sociopolitical, and holistic models, while acknowledging the historical and cultural variability of health definitions. It offers an in-depth analysis of health tourism, emphasizing the protection and enhancement of the health of both tourists and tourism workers. The management of tourism health is discussed across five dimensions: environmental, medical, operational, social, and psychological health. Importantly, the book critiques the adverse health effects of poorly managed tourism, particularly in developing countries, where rapid and unregulated tourism growth exacerbates environmental degradation and public health challenges. The book is structured into four chapters that explore foundational tourism concepts, health and tourism-health models, determinants of tourism-related health, and sustainable health management in tourism services. Combining theoretical insights with practical recommendations, this book is a valuable resource for academics, professionals, and policymakers seeking to integrate health-conscious strategies into tourism planning.
