Synopsis
The preliminary study analyzes the perceptions of tourism management students about vaccine tourism who are unvaccinated, including an ethical perspective. The sample is 46 undergraduate students in a foundation university in Antalya-Turkey and the email interview is used to gather data from respondents due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Findings reveal that although some respondents support vaccine tourism in general except their concerns about the reliability of the vaccine, the vaccination process, and the quality of the vaccine, some respondents have ethical considerations in choosing where to be vaccinated and in which circumstances, they will take place in the vaccination process. The creation of unequal opportunities for the rich and the discrimination among the members of the society is vastly mentioned. The exploratory study enlightens the field of medical tourism in terms of vaccine tourism and ethical consumption of young generations for researchers and practitioners.
