Abstract

Introduction: Health tourism is one of the branches of tourism that has been considered by many tourism activists in recent years. This type of tourism, which has high profitability and economic value, has been exploited in each country in proportion to its scientific potential and diversity of medical services. Iran, as one of the advanced countries in the field of modern medical science and research, is one of the oldest countries in the history of medicine and even has a unique medical school in ancient medicine.
Methods: In the present article, using descriptive and library methods, the indicators of halal health tourism in different aspects of medical science have been explained.
Results: Analysis of different aspects of halal tourism and review of various medical services from clinical services to the production of medicine and massage therapy, etc., can provide a whole package of medical services in the form of halal health tourism and attract many tourists to the country.
Conclusion: Health tourism in the world began with physical health and then developed into the human mental aspect. Travelling from a permanent area of residency to maintain, improve or regain physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health for more than 24 hours and less than a year is referred to as halal health tourism. To progress in this regard, points such as the establishment of a halal health tourism club, the development of a pattern and a model of halal medical tourism can also be given special importance.
