Summary
Traveling to a foreign country for healthcare services is referred as health tourism [1]. Medical tourism is regarded as more organised travel outside one’s natural health care jurisdiction. In the 18th century, health spas were a common feature of medical tourism. Globalisation has prompted countries to evaluate their position on trade in health services [4] Contemporary medical tourism is the phenomenon of middle-class from industrialized countries and the affluent class from developing countries who avail first-class or desired medical services at distant terminuses [5]. Eastern Mediterranean regional office (EMRO) of WHO reported that Jordan treats more than 120,000 non-Jordanian patients annually, an annual US$ 1 billion in revenue [3]. Some empirical studies attempted to establish the relationship between various factors, such as motivations, service quality, service satisfaction, and visit intention [8]
