Since the Libyan revolution, most of the private Tunisian polyclinics have managed to live thanks to the Libyan patients. Therefore, there are important predictive motivations of these customers who have chosen Tunisia and precisely Sfax region as a favourite destination. It is in this framework that we tried to explain the increasing expenses of the Libyan patients in private polyclinics of Sfax. Relying on an Autoregressive-Distributed Lag (ARDL) model, we tried to explain the expenses on the basis of the Libyan patients’ number and the amounts of the earned profits. Using monthly data over a period running from March 2007 to December 2013, our results show that health tourism cannot be the best means to attract the Libyan customers, and that motivating these customers to opt for this type of tourism remains a difficult task.
