Whats going on
Discover opportunities and strike partnershipsin the thriving healthcare travel industry!In the current dull economic climate, the healthcare travel industry is one of the few which continues to thrive. The
healthcare travel industry is growing at 15 to 20 per cent annually and its estimated that total gross healthcare
travel revenue will rise from $56 billion today to $100 billion by 2012. The reasons are simple. Healthcare is a necessity.
And healthcare travel is all about seeking low cost healthcare with high quality and care around the globe. The healthcare
travel business model is the only solution to battle against rising healthcare costs especially in these tough times.
The uninsured arent the only ones discovering the benefits of healthcare travel. Self-insured multi-national corporations
and health insurance providers are also leveraging on the healthcare travel model to manage high healthcare costs.
Partnerships between multi-national corporations and insurers, insurers and healthcare travel facilitators, travel agenciesand healthcare providers as well as healthcare providers and medical spas are fast emerging in the industry. Governments
have also begun to recognise the economic potential and are building medical cities as well as promoting their respective
countries as attractive healthcare travel destinations.
