Abstract

This paper aims to review some of the most cited scholarly research on the Web of Science database connected to health tourism in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper is based on an analysis of 103 documents studying areas of health tourism in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Documents were published from January 2020 to June 2024. The main findings show that researchers lack attention to the tools and strategies that should be taken by stakeholders to recover the health tourism industry in the post-COVID-19 period. The study enriches the health tourism literature. The study offers several recommendations for the recovery of the health tourism industry in the post-COVID-19 pandemic. The recommendations could be used within the management of organizations operating in the health tourism industry.
