Establishment and Legal Liability of Private Healthcare Institutions

Academic studies conducted in the fields of health tourism and senior tourism highlight the importance of health-supported, safe, and accessible travel models for older individuals. As stated by our Chairman of the Board, Mr. Mehmet Cerrah Kıran, in his academic study titled “The Establishment of Private Healthcare Institutions and Their Legal Responsibilities,” health tourism encompasses not only medical treatments but also rehabilitation services, healthy living practices, as well as geriatric and accessible tourism for elderly and disabled individuals. Academic research and practical models demonstrate that older individuals require safe, accessible, and health-supported travel opportunities.

Developed with this approach, the third-age tourism and lifelong holiday model supports individuals in remaining active for longer periods, while also contributing to the year-round distribution of tourism activities and the strengthening of social life. Senior tourism not only enhances individuals’ quality of life but is also regarded as a significant field in terms of employment continuity, diversification of tourism activities, and economic sustainability.

In the article, the definition and scope of health tourism can be found on pages 44–49; the role of elderly and accessible tourism within health tourism on pages 47–50; and the third-age tourism and coordination / lifelong holiday approach on pages 51–53.
