The medical tourism industry has been growing rapidly in recent years as governments seek new sectors for sustainable growth. The increase in medical tourism and cooperation in the health and medical sector may be a path to improving relationships between countries. As a result of globalization, international tourism has been growing faster than any other time in the past. The growth of international tourism is being regarded as a contributor to the development of the economy, social cooperation, politics, and cultural relations. This paper suggests that developing medical tourism may act as a basis for increasing tourism in general, thereby enhancing cultural exchanges and improving the relationship between South Korea (Republic of Korea) and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), especially by establishing a new cooperative relationship in the health and medical field. This paper focuses on the functions of medical tourism in the past and its potential in the future, which may play a significant role in the relationship between South Korea and the UAE, particularly its influence on South Korea's policies of cooperation with the UAE in the field of health and medical services.
近年来，随着各国政府寻求可持续增长的新领域，医疗旅游产业迅速发展。医疗旅游的增加和医疗保健领域的合作可能是改善国家间关系的途径。由于全球化的影响，国际旅游业的发展速度超过了以往任何时候。国际旅游业的增长被认为是促进经济、社会合作、政治和文化关系发展的因素之一。本文认为，发展医疗旅游可能成为增加一般旅游业的基础，从而加强文化交流，改善韩国（大韩民国）和阿拉伯联合酋长国（阿联酋）之间的关系，特别是通过在卫生和医疗领域建立新的合作关系。本文重点关注过去医疗旅游的功能及其未来的潜力，这可能在韩国和阿联酋之间的关系中发挥重要作用，特别是对韩国与阿联酋在卫生和医疗服务领域合作政策的影响。
