Online published on 27 November, 2019. Abstract The Province of West Nusa Tenggara is known as one of the Indonesian provinces which has become a tourism destination apart from Bali. This province has two main islands, which are Lombok Island and Sumbawa Island. They have a richness in the variation of nature and culture, so that they have a high potential for the development of tourism. The problem which must be taken into consideration in creating a better tourism destination is giving healthcare services which are agreed upon through the local government's policies. The scope of tourism health is very broad, as it includes the health of the tourists, the health of the society as the hosts, the health of the workers in the tourism industry, the health of the environment in the tourism area, the safety of food in the tourism area, including the different policies regarding health and tourism. Apart from that, the effort of chemoprophylaxis may be informed to the tourists who have the risk to be contracted of an illness, but may be avoided through the use of some medications. For example, the tourists who visit West Nusa Tenggara, or the other eastern parts of Indonesia, may be advised to consult to health workers to receive preventative medicine. Tourism consultants and tourism guides may also have the role to give suggestions regarding the general health situations which are present in the area on several occasions.
