Introduction: The importance of cooperation in the development of health
tourism is indisputable. However, a bridge language must be used in order for
cooperation to function properly. It is thought that coordination will increase
thanks to the development of a bridge language among the ministries con-
cerned with this study. The provision of the language union will increase the ef-
fectiveness of the common structure to be established. It has been observed
that some terms used in health tourism, especially caring and rehabilitation
tourism in institutions, have been interpreted in different ways and some con-
cepts have not been defined. The aim is to construct cooperations for develop-
ment of caring and rehabilitation tourism for disabled and elderly people, or-
ganisations of caring services, and raising some support for this field within the
International Health Tourism Program.
Methods: It is understood that the concepts used by institutions are the points
where they are separated by international use. The legislation of institutions
related to the subject has been examined ;and the International literature has
been scanned in order to ensure that both national and international coopera-
tion in a qualified way. The concepts used in this field are examined under these
tags: service, setting and workforce.
Results: The most accessible tourism is mentioned in the literature. Accessible
tourism is seen to cover all barriers and elderly people. Another kind of tour-
ist related to the barriers is wheelchair tourism. It is also seen that the types
of tourism offered to the elderly are called cross border care and senior tour-
ism. Apart from these, care and rehabilitation tourism is also mentioned, but
not common. Developments in the world are the demand for the elderly and
the disabled to offer these services within the scope of tourism. In this con-
text, the concept of care and rehabilitation tourism is considered in the litera-
ture to cover all tourism types within the scope of health tourism for the disa-
bled and the elderly.
Discussion and conclusions: As a result of the study, it was determined that a
comprehensive concept of treatment, care and rehabilitation tourism will be
formed by the related parties in order to develop common understanding and
coordination in national and international services offered to disabled and the
elderly.
Keywords: bridge language, rehabilitation, health tourism, disabled and
elderly care tourism, elderly care tourism
