The terminology of travel medicine has been used interchangeably with travel health or travelers’ health. Understanding the definition is important because sciences and practices related to medicine and health at tourism areas have developed rapidly. This can be applied to identify scopes and appropriate components for each sub discipline. Travel medicine is the first emerging field in this area.
