Consistency in the literature regarding the concept of wellness tourism is lacking. A confusing array of terms such as ‘‘wellness tourism’’, ‘‘health tourism’’, ‘‘health-caretourism’’, ‘‘medical tourism’’, ‘‘holistic tourism’’, ‘‘well-being tourism’’, and ‘‘spa tourism’’ are used interchangeably, but often describe different concepts. The term ‘‘health tourism’’ can be used as a comprehensive umbrella term that subsumes medical and wellness tourism. Medical tourists primarily travel to cure or treat a certain illness or medical condition. In contrast, wellness tourists go on vacation to maintain or improve their health and well-being. Beauty spa, lifestyle resort, and spiritual retreat v have different profiles.  https://www.researchgate.net/publication/242023593_Wellness_tourists_In_search_of_transformation
