Spa & Wellness
The word "spa" in the Latin language means "salus per aquam - health from water".
More than two thousand years ago, hot water tubs and stream baths were used for their healing properties and the spa was viewed as a place
for those who seek rest, relaxation and solace. Ancient civilization including the Egyptians, Mesopotamians and Greeks used spas and massage
in their own distinctive manner. Although the Romans were not the first ancient civilization to use them, they were the civilazation that

Thermal Tourism
At the last count there was over 1,000 thermal springs in Turkey, offering their therapeutic qualities to the Roman
civilisations which inhabited western Anatolia region and providing bags of untapped tourism potential to today's government.
The natural resource that the thermal springs in Turkey provide is valuable to the country.
The Romans, recognising the benefit of the springs, built the city of Hierapolis close to the "cotton castle" at Pamukkale - a wondrous site of hot springs
in the inner Aegean region.Although there are 17 registered thermal spas in Turkey and mud baths in Turkey, the main locations can be split up into five sections:
Bursa, Kangal Sivas, The Balcova Springs, Cesme and Dalyan

Turkey
Total of 500 thousand tourists come to Turkey for health tourism annually. Deriving a considerable amount of revenues from millions of tourists every year, Turkey has now become an important country in health tourism as well. A growing number of patients from around the world prefer the private health institutions in Turkey. Surgical operations performed by the world renowned Turkish surgeons with modern methods cost much less than those performed in Europe and the USA. 500 thousand tourists come to Turkey for health tourism every year.
Many foreign patients prefer the Turkish hospitals in many fields of medicine, including plastic and aesthetic surgery, hair transplantation, eye surgery, in vitro fertilization, open heart surgery, skin diseases, check-up, cancer treatment, otorhinolaryngology, dialysis and cardiovascular surgery, gynecology, tumor operations, brain surgery, orthopedics, and dentistry, on account of their low cost but high quality and technology standards.
The diagnostic, treatment and surgical operation activities carried out with the same techniques and technologies used in developed countries cost too high in hospitals in other countries than Turkey. For example, the in vitro fertilization treatment costs 15-16 thousand dollars in the USA but only 2.600 dollars in Turkey. The cost of Lasik Eye Surgery ranges between 4.000 and 8.000 Euros in the European countries, while it costs only 600 Euros in Turkey. Turkish physicians make significant achievements in the field of in vitro fertilization. Open heart operations cost 50.000 dollars in European countries, while only 25.000 dollars at A class hospitals in Turkey. These centers in Turkey keep abreast of the developments in the USA and Europe very closely. The superior achievements of the Turkish physicians are also recognized and appreciated throughout the world.
The patients and their families will not only receive health services physically and mentally, but also make the best use of the historical and tourism potentials in the region.
The spa and thermal centers in Turkey provide beauty and health with cure methods dating back to the Roman period.
