Medical tourism has entered a post-pandemic development stage. Destination competitiveness,patient satisfaction, service quality, clinical safety, the recovery of wellness tourism, and digital continuouscare are increasingly seen as interconnected issues, rather than isolated market factors. This paper uses 535articles on the topic of medical tourism retrieved from the Web of Science database between 2024 and June30, 2026, and analyzes the knowledge structure and cutting-edge issues of recent medical tourism researchusing CiteSpace keyword co-occurrence maps. The results show that medical tourism research has formed aresearch network centered on medical tourism and health tourism, with satisfaction, healthcare, management,destination, service quality, wellness tourism, and impact as important nodes. The field is shifting from simpleresearch on low-cost cross-border surgeries and destination marketing to a comprehensive research frameworkthat is patient-centered and considers destination governance, healthcare quality, risk control, sustainabledevelopment, and digital continuous care. The study argues that the competitive advantage of future medicaltourism destinations should not come solely from prices and hospital infrastructure, but rather from transparentservice processes, auditable clinical quality, cross-cultural communication, postoperative follow-up, datasecurity, and transnational regulatory cooperation.
