Abstract
This chapter explores the interactions of tourism with the health of people and place and the concept of 'healthy tourism' developed as a framework to realign the health-tourism relationship into a more positive one. It considers the role tourism can play to improve the health benefits of local people and places, not just the health of the visitor, thus it is not a form of health tourism. It ties conceptually to ideals of sustainable tourism.
