O turismo de saúde tem sido pouco estudado numa perspetiva sociológica, não obstante se consubstanciar como um fenómeno social crescente em diversos países e as tendências do seu desenvolvimento refletirem alguns dos vetores principais de mudança social do campo da saúde. A proposta deste artigo é fazer uma abordagem preliminar sobre a relação que se estabelece entre a reconfiguração do turismo de saúde e os processos de mudança social ocorridos nas últimas décadas no domínio da saúde. Tendo por base um projeto de investigação em curso (“Inovação e futuro: Contribuição para o desenho da oferta turística na Área Metropolitana de Lisboa”), com recurso a uma metodologia qualitativa, analisa-se a relação entre o desenvolvimento do turismo de saúde e a evolução das formas de percecionar e experienciar a saúde, a doença e o corpo nas sociedades contemporâneas que tem originado o alargamento e reconfiguração destes domínios e suas fronteiras.
