Benefits of Cosmetic Tourism

With long wait lists and high prices, many assume surgery is unattainable without the taking huge risks of traveling abroad for surgery. In most cases, a medical tourist traveling to Costa Rica or Mexico can save more than 50% off North American prices. And it is this significance in cost that has led throngs of these new types of tourists flocking to hospitals in Asia and Central America. Also, the appeal of recuperating in privacy, whilst still enjoying a tropical vacation converts even the most non-believers. With state-of-the-art hospitals (JCI accredited) and highly-skilled surgeons registered with the International Society of Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), our destinations in Malaysia, Thailand, Mexico and Costa Rica make it easy and affordable for overseas patients to spend an extended period of recovery (often with their partners or family) enjoying the beautiful culture these countries have to offer. These locations are quickly becoming a preferred destination for foreign visitors seeking major and minor surgery at a fraction of the cost of identical procedures in their home countries.

Growing Healthcare Awareness and Demand for Quality Healthcare to Propel Growth of the Global Hospitals Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) February 06, 2012

Follow GIA on LinkedIn The world over, hospitals are focused largely on increasing efficiency and offering comprehensive services to retain existing customers and attract new ones. Growing healthcare costs have become a major concern for the government as well as hospitals and insurance companies. Escalating healthcare costs and reduced co-payments by employers for medical benefits led to the establishment of the managed care companies and HMOs, pressurizing hospitals to increase cost-effectiveness. Faced with the increasing costs and declining profits, majority of hospitals have implemented measures, such as providing alternative medicines to patients, and collaborations to form health systems to expand offerings and reduce overall healthcare costs.

Despite the economic slowdown and financial crunch, the number of new hospitals increased significantly since the year 2008. While a well-developed healthcare infrastructure exists in the developed nations, emerging economies also progressively began to make investments in the establishment of hospitals and clinics in order to increase public access to healthcare. The global economic downturn further accelerated the ongoing consolidation activity in the hospitals sector, forcing weaker organizations to merge with the financially sound hospitals.

Increasing demand for hospital beds has largely been driving the increase in the number of hospital construction projects. Additionally, higher spending on new hospital buildings, and technologically advanced equipment, is further driving the US hospital expenditure. The hospital sector continues to remain a low-profit market, characterized by the high operating costs and heightened competition among hospitals.

The hospital information laboratory systems market has been growing at a significant rate in the recent years, driven by growing need to automate electronic patient record systems for transferring patient information rapidly. The growth is also driven by the supply chain automation, which allows hospitals to simultaneously share laboratory results with many service providers. In a further embracement of technology, hospital organizations are establishing health related web portals for both internal and external uses, including connecting patients, lab results, pre-registration, and focusing on disease management and wellness.

With the increasing popularity of medical tourism, hospitals face the heat of increased competition. In an attempt to gain a competitive edge in the market, major hospital operators are focused on establishing offshore hospitals. Growth in the hospital market is expected in all major regions, with double digit growth rates projected in the Chinese and Indian markets.

Global Specialty Tourism Sector is Poised for Steady Growth, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, California (PRWEB) February 10, 2012

Follow us on LinkedIn Tourism industry dynamics are significantly influenced by the highs and lows of the global economy as it affects the level of consumer confidence. As travelers from the developed nations make up for a large proportion of total tourists, the industry was hit hard by the recession that engulfed the global economy. Rise in unemployment rates, salary cutbacks and reduction in travel-related programs by businesses led to a considerable decline in number of tourists, thereby affecting the overall revenues. The effect was also evident on various sectors including leisure and business tourism, incentive travel, cruise tourism and shopping tourism, all of which witnessed a significant decline. A large number of regular travelers reduced their traveling frequencies, while new and prospective travelers deferred their travel plans. However, some tourism segments, specifically medical tourism, continued to grow despite the financial crisis. The tourism sector recovered in 2010 and exhibited growth in 2011 with consumer confidence and enthusiasm heading back to pre-recession levels.

Over the years, Specialty Tourism has responded to publics interest in educational, health and active tours. Changes in technology, society and economy have led to increased ease in traveling. Traveling has become cheaper and convenient with the availability of more airplanes, air routes, surface vehicles, and roads. In addition, abundant and easily accessible information is provided to travelers. The specialty tourism market is expected to exhibit continuous growth in the coming years and become the dominant segment of the overall tourism industry.

Medical tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors in the tourism industry. Increasing health awareness levels, low medical costs, less waiting time are driving medical tourism, with a significant portion of the tourists flow directed towards developing nations such as India, Brazil and Thailand, among others. Asia-Pacific medical tourism industry accounts for a significant portion of the worldwide medical tourism market, with the region attracting travelers from Europe, North America and Australia largely due to the cost factor. The availability of well-qualified and skilled medical professionals and advanced medical techniques favors the regions growth as the hub of medical tourism. Adventure tourism is another key sector of the leisure travel market, which includes a variety of outbound activities such as such as scuba diving, rock climbing, canoeing or kayaking, paragliding, mountaineering and windsurfing. Growth in the sector is driven by an upsurge in the number of enthusiasts venturing into adventure sports.
