The term of health tourism, as a tourism for health, has not been generalized so far. The purpose of this paper is to review and explore the concept of health tourism by literature review from the viewpoint of the developmental history, usage, and relations with the other related types of tourism. The results show that 1) ”Health Tourism” as the inclusive term which means medical care, recovery as well as health improvement is the most proper term 2) it is not a type of SIT, because of extensive meaning for traveler's health 3) it is different type of tourism from Nature Tourism because of emphasizes on the nature use more than nature protection 4) in motivation and activity, Health Tourism is a difference form Sports Tourism and Adventure Tourism.
