Abstract:	Abstract—Cosmetic surgery is now very common in many countries. In Asia, cosmetic surgery has become an accepted practice, and China has become Asia's biggest cosmetic surgery markets. The cost of most cosmetic surgeries in Taiwan is much lower than the cost of the same cosmetic surgery in the United States, and even other Asian countries. Taiwan is famous for its towering mountains, eco-tourism, culture, heritage, hot springs and night markets. Generally, the infrastructure in Taiwan is sufficient for providing international medical treatments and offering short-term vacations. Furthermore, many overseas tourists will require specific post-cosmetic care after they have finished the cosmetic treatments and may prefer to take a short-term vacation in the area. Generally, post-cosmetic care during such a vacation is important for the effectiveness of cosmetic treatments. In this paper, we aim to explore technical models for serving the overseas tourist and realizing the collaborative business services of cosmetic treatment and tourism. The proposed Cosmetic Tourist Guiding Model, which includes the Genetic Algorithm scheduling function for planning suitable trips and remote pre-assessable functions, can provide overseas visitors with convenient service and allows for cooperation between business owners of medical treatment facilities and travel agencies.
