According to the age variable, 41.6 percent of the tourists were between the ages of 18-30, 36.5 percent were between the ages of 31-45, and 21.9 percent were aged 46 and over. When the educational status of the tourists was examined, it was determined that 42.7 percent were primary school graduates, 14.6 percent were high school graduates, 33.1 percent were university graduates, and 9.6 percent were master's and doctorate graduates. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that meeting the expectations and satisfaction of the participating health tourists had a statistically significant and positive effect on the sense of regional trust.
