When we say health tourism, we don't mean only the benefits of vacation and the mental rehabilitation that it brings. Health tourism includes all types of tourism that aim to improve physical, mental and spiritual health through various medical activities that will make a person feel good in his body. Montenegro is particularly suitable for this type of tourism, due to favorable climatic conditions, specifically a mix of Mediterranean and continental climate, at only 190 kilometers of air distance between the two most distant geographical points of the country.

Montenegro has a huge potential for the development of health tourism, thanks to its natural resources, the sea, lakes, national parks, locations that are more than 1000 meters above sea level and represent real spas in the air. According to data from 2023, the offer of health tourism includes:

• about 35% of dental services,
• 31% fitness, cosmetology and recreation,
• 15% wellness and spa,
• 10.9% treatment and rehabilitation,
• 10.9% plastic and aesthetic surgery.

The Montenegrin spa institute "Dr. Simo Milošević" in Igalo is one of the most famous institutions for spa treatment in the Balkans. The institute is intended for physical medicine, rehabilitation and rheumatology of adults, children and the elderly. Thanks to natural medicinal sea mud, mineral waters and other resources, an individual medical program is prepared for each guest. Treatments include different types of massages, exercises and other therapies. The institute also offers numerous recreational and wellness facilities, so swimming pools, a sauna, a fitness center, and a bowling alley are available to guests. This is a place that promotes healthy lifestyles and offers something for everyone.

All three regions, central, coastal and northern, have potential for health tourism. They are suitable for pulmonary diseases, pediatrics, oncology, post-covid and post-traumatic rehabilitation, sports medicine and others.

The development of health tourism will complete the Montenegrin tourist offer and lead to a more even development of the three regions mentioned. Natural resources combined with modern medical means and equipment will significantly improve this type of tourism in Montenegro. Of course, better international promotion is needed in order to attract a larger number of foreign patients. On a relatively small area, Montenegro combines all the natural resources needed for health tourism, which is in growing demand on a global level.
