Nowadays tourism is not only a leisure but a pleasant part of life. A better travel experience contributes positively to a person’s health, work-life, and family relations (Petrick, 2013). Nowadays, individuals are more concerned about their health after the COVID pandemic, and common lifestyle diseases increasing day by day. Traditionally, two types of tourism are considered related to the goals of treatment and recovery: medical tourism and wellness tourism (Savel' eva, Kolesnikov, & Shmeleva, 2020). India is always known for medical tourism, especially with low costs and the best treatment. Moreover, vast knowledge and popularity for its rare combination of Ayurveda, Siddha, allopathy, and naturopathy make India the foremost destination for tourists. Recently, the term wellness tourism attained popularity worldwide for engaging in activities that develop optimal health. Medical and wellness tourism have certain similarities, yet differ in nature and serve different purposes. The terms medical tourism, health tourism, and wellness tourism are used interchangeably but in the current scenario, they differ in various aspects. This study tries to understand the conceptual differences between medical and wellness tourism with the help of existing literature and its significance in the post-pandemic economy.
