Abstract

The idea of this research starts with the growing worldwide importance of health tourism. However, few authors have focused on the microeconomic aspect of the phenomenon and therefore on the characteristics of companies. This represents a crucial point, considering that this phenomenon is on the rise and probably in the future, many healthcare companies will focus their business on this issue. So, the aim of this paper is to investigate the economic-financial performances of Italian companies that are related to health tourism
