Health tourism service is a service model that combines health care with tourism. It helps tourists improve their physical and mental health during their travels by providing a variety of activities such as health management, physical care, psychological relaxation, and cultural experience. This service usually includes hot spring therapy, sports rehabilitation, natural therapy, Chinese medicine therapy, healthy diet, etc., aiming to meet tourists' needs for a healthy lifestyle and promote comprehensive recovery and improvement of body and mind. Health tourism not only focuses on physical health, but also emphasizes the balance of the mind and the harmony with nature.

The health and wellness tourism service industry chain primarily consists of three segments: upstream resources and infrastructure, midstream service provision and operational management, and downstream customer demand and extended services. The upstream segment includes the development of health and wellness tourism resources (natural scenic areas, hot springs, and health resorts), infrastructure construction (hotels, wellness centers, medical institutions, and transportation facilities), and policy support and industry standards. The midstream segment comprises the operational entities of health and wellness tourism, including travel agencies, wellness institutions, resort hotels, health management centers, medical rehabilitation service providers, and supporting suppliers (catering, leisure experiences, customized itinerary design, etc.), responsible for product design, route organization, service delivery, and quality control. The downstream segment includes tourists/consumers and corporate clients (such as group elderly care and health check-up tourism), with extensions including after-sales service, membership repurchase, health products, and personalized customized services. The gross profit margin of the industry chain is significantly affected by differences in service models and business formats: traditional travel agencies and joint ventures with scenic areas generally have a gross profit margin of 15%–30%; while integrated operational entities offering high-end health and wellness, medical rehabilitation, and personalized services, due to higher added value, often achieve overall gross profit margins of 30%–50% or even higher, particularly in long-term membership services, health management, and high-end customized tourism products.

Wellness tourism services are becoming an important trend in the tourism industry because they combine the dual advantages of health management and leisure tourism to meet people's growing health needs. In modern fast-paced life, more and more people are eager to regain physical and mental recovery and balance through travel. Wellness tourism not only provides physical and mental healing experiences such as hot springs, forest bathing, and sports rehabilitation, but also combines local culture and natural resources, allowing people to reshape their health while relaxing. With the aging of the global population and the improvement of health awareness, wellness tourism will receive more widespread attention and development in the future.
