Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of global innovation index, safety and security level and health and hygiene level on health tourism income. Method: Time series analysis was applied with Türkiye's data for the years 2012-2023. After the stationarity of the series was analyzed with Philips-Perron (PP) unit root tests, short-term and long-term relationship was examined with Johanson Cointegration test. Then, shocks occurring in the short term were calculated by applying Error Correction Model and Impulse-Response Function. Results: While hygiene and health level (HH) positively affected health tourism income (EXP) (P<0.05), global innovation index affected it in a non-significant positive way (p>0.05). EXP variable is affected by shocks from GII, HH and SS. Therefore, health tourism income is significantly affected by indicators such as safety and security, innovative developments in tourism, hygiene and health level in the short term. Conclusion: As a result, it is recommended that Türkiye should make continuous efforts towards innovation, hygiene and security elements in order to realize its health tourism potential. The meticulous handling of these elements by stakeholders will strengthen the country's position in the field of health tourism and increase its health tourism income by ensuring that it assumes a more competitive role in the international market.
