In this study is made a parallel between the common benefits of the activity sequence for the telemedicine practice and the tourism health prevention and development. The basic thesis is that such symbiosis may improve the access to specialized health services in regions that there is a lack of specialist doctors or in regions with difficult access to healthcare services but at the same time intensively visited by tourists. By the usage of the telemonitoring a large number of health care problems can be solved especially when there is a language barrier between the tourist that needs a health care service and there isn’t any adequate at the region of his residence. The benefits are not only connected with the improvement of the tourist-patient healthcare but could lead to effectiveness increasing of the health care system in the country – touristic destination. The sequence between the telemedicine with tourist healthcare could also improve the life quality chronically ill tourist-patients and as a whole to prevent the needless and expensive for the tourists stay at a hospital.
