Abstract :This study aims to investigate the factors that shape medical tourism and to evaluate these factors in the context of Turkey. Studies and reviews that examine the factors affecting the preferences of patients admitted within the scope of the medical tourism were taken into consideration. Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University electronic library, Sagem, Pubmed and Google academics were used in the literature search conducted. It was observed that the studies mainly focused on up to 9 factors, including quality, price, waiting time, other tourism activities, intermediary institutions, legislation, communication, technology and socio-economic status of the country. From Turkey`s perspective, it was observed that quality, price, waiting time, other tourism activities and technology are adequate in Turkey, whereas there were deficiencies in socio-economic status, intermediary institutions and legislation areas of the country.
