Statistical reasoning for developing an attitude scale for health tourism stakeholders in North Cyprus context

In this study, an "Attitude Scale for Health Tourism Education" was aimed to be developed in order to be used to determine the attitudes of stakeholders towards health tourism education and other relevant issues in North Cyprus health tourism context. The attitude scale was processed through validity and reliability tests in order to ensure the highest possible efficiency. The inadequate literature on health tourism education and the lack of an attitude scale related to the issue give the impression that the education factor in health tourism is so far ignored. In this respect, the Attitude Scale for Health Tourism Education, can be used to identify the attitudes of stakeholders taking part in the health tourism sector in North Cyprus and other relevant issues. The scale was also designed to be used in studies that could lay the groundwork for a training model which can be developed for the health tourism sector in North Cyprus. It is also believed that this work will contribute to the application of original scientific studies in areas such as the health tourism, psychology, sociology, business administration and engineering which will necessarily be engaged in developing a program for health tourism education with an interdisciplinary approach.
