To assess the validity of the questionnaire content validity, factor analysis, convergent and differential validity were used. Cronbach's alpha value was more than 80%. The results show that there is a positive and significant relationship between the motivational and perceptual factors of medical tourists and their Behavioral Intention. The quality factor has the greatest impact on the perceived target image and Behavioral Intention while Perceived Quality has the greatest impact on the Behavioral Intention of tourists. Considering that the development of Medical Tourism requires a systematic and comprehensive look, it is necessary to develop an appropriate strategy to increase the number of medical tourists in the destinations by coordination of the organizations involved in this sector at macro and micro levels. . .
