dc.description.abstractÖZ: Tıbbi Turizm, Singapur, Taylant, Brazilya, Malazya ve Hindistan gibi 3. Dünya ülkelerinde zemin kazanmıştır. Bu ülkeler 3. Dünya fiyatlarıyla 1. Dünya mükemmelliği sunuyorlar. Dolayısı ile, daha çok turist celbederek ve daha fazla kalmalarını sağlayarak, bütün dünyadan turist kazanıyorlar. KKTC ekonomisi turizme yüksek düzeyde bağlıdır, ama zaman zaman bir kaç faktör sonucu Turizm`den gelebilecek yararların hepsinden faydalanamamıştır. Bu araştırma KKTC`in Akdeniz`de tıbbi turizmin öncül istikametine çevrilmesinin mümkünlüğünü araştırdı. Araştırma sonucu, KKTC hükumetinin artık Yakın Doğu Hastanesinin yapmış olduğu mükemmellik temelini yükselteceği taktirde, onun yakın zamanda öncülüğü ele alacağı ortaya çıkmıştır. Bunun yanısıra, uygun fiyat meselesinin de ciddi tartışma konusu olması gerekmektedir.en_US
