The modern world and the people who live in it process a large amount of information on a daily basis. A hectic lifestyle, unhealthy diet, lack of exercise and stress lead to the emergence of modern age diseases such as obesity, diabetes and various cardiovascular diseases. As a result, health tourism, defined as medical travel, has developed rapidly in the last few decades, most often in another country, due to too long waiting lists, excessive costs or the unavailability of certain services in the home country. It is divided into medical, spa and wellness tourism. In order to be able to define health tourism, it is necessary to define services in advance because health tourism is a service activity. Services are defined as activities or benefits offered by one party to the other that are intangible and do not result in ownership. Defining and dividing services and health tourism is very complex because there are no generally accepted definitions and because there are overlaps in the definitions of the type of health tourism. Its development on a global level has been repaired by an increasing number of tourists who are willing to set aside their time and money for this service. This service must be of high quality in order to compete in the world market. Therefore, it is necessary to manage and evaluate quality services that provide excellent service when they exceed customer expectations. In order to successfully develop health tourism in any country, including the Republic of Croatia, it is very important to manage it efficiently. The role of management is extremely important in the management of human resources that represent the link between tourists and organizations. The attitude and satisfaction of both the tourist and the employee is important for the organization to operate successfully. The aim of this paper is to prove, based on previous research, that human resources are the most important part of health tourism and good human resources management significantly affect the quality of health tourism. One of the most important elements of human resource management is the education system that enables employees to constantly improve and advance in the organization.
