"Medical tourism", also known as health tourism or hospital tourism, refers to the movement of people from a country other than their country of residence in order to receive a medical procedure not available or difficult available in their own country, for legal reasons or for reasons relating to the provision of care (skills, cost) (Hottois & Missa, 2001). This definition already stressed the inappropriateness of the term "medical tourism", since it is primarily a medical logic and not the first tourist sense. Indeed, the aim of this mobility is primarily to improve their health and not be distracted. Besides, when receipts are heavy and care that the postoperative period is difficult, patients are unable to go sightseeing.
