Medical Tourism: How can Americans Choose Leading International Medical Tourism Healthcare Providers

Montreal, Canada (PRWEB) March 29, 2006

Falling ill while abroad seems like the worst sort of traveling nightmare. Yet, for growing numbers of travelers, the lure of combining affordable medical care with attentive room service is a chief draw for packing a suitcase and boarding a plane as part of the new medical tourism craze.

One question still remains; how can American and Canadian consumers choose which overseas hospital is best suited for their specific procedure?

The key here is to have access to a network of pre-selected professionals and healthcare facilities. Additionally, receiving objective information and evaluations from a North American medical tourism provider guarantees safety and competences. For instance, before accepting new patients, GoSculptura works with medical professionals to diligently understand and evaluate the needs of its patients to insure that expectations can be met and preferably, exceeded.

John Walch, Program manager at GoSculptura Inc. states, Since we grow through word of mouth, our strategy is simple, really: exceed expectations to get lots of referrals. We cannot afford to cut corners. We work with leading senior surgeons with more than 25 years of experience and hundreds of satisfied American and Canadian patients. Our patient care representatives spend more than 20 hours on site with patients to offer highly a personalized friendly assistance and medical care. Our patients stay within the most select neighborhoods in cosmopolitan centers and benefit from dedicated in room service. Pre and post operative check ups occur in audited facilities with the latest equipment and trained personnel. To date, we have had extremely positive feedback from many satisfied clients and we continually strive to get to perfection. We are in the process of adding five other countries to our network including Brazil, India, Malaysia, Turkey and South Africa. Our objective is to expand and cover additional surgeries to offer our American and Canadian patients a more diversified selection of destinations so they can decide based on the specialties of the different countries as well as based on travel preferences.

John Walch continues, To merit the trust of our fellow American and Canadian patients, it is our mandate to invest substantially to thoroughly and diligently inspect all the healthcare partners and professionals we work with. This task is not taken lightly. Safety and competence always precede price.

GoQuo Sponsors TRAVELtech Australia: Asia Pacific"s Leading Online Marketing and Distribution Conference

(PRWEB) June 28, 2006

Aiming to play a major role in the Asia Pacific region, GoQuo sponsors Traveltech Australia 2006 – the regions leading online distribution conference.

Although it is one of the newest international technology shows, TRAVELtech Australia is the main event where dominant travel players converge in the region.

For GoQuo, participating in TRAVELtech Australia 2006 is a conscious, deliberate and strategic move as GoQuo seeks to expand into new markets and build its portfolio of international clients.

Anderson Dy, GoQuos Head of Sales and Marketing, predicts that intern-continental and inter-regional passenger traffic and tourism in that region will expand exponentially over the next two decades. Using the extensive market research conducted by GoQuo to analyse the trends, patterns and movements in the travel industry, Anderson Dy argues: We simply cannot ignore the critical developments that are happening in the Asia-Pacific region (A-Pr). Buckling under international competitive pressures, more countries in the region have begun adopting progressively liberal policies in regard to passenger travel, opening previously closed markets to open competition. The dramatic increase of global trade with China is providing further impetus to this transformation. As travel restrictions in China are lifted and as more wealth is created in China due to the remarkable increase in foreign direct investments into the country, a rising number of Chinese have begun spending their new found wealth in travel. Technology not only has to be engineered to accommodate the massive number of potential travellers but also technology has to be flexible and innovative enough to accommodate the new and specific demands of the Chinese and of the Asia-Pacific travel company or traveller. As GoQuos bespoke products have been engineered to an extremely high level of sophistication and flexibility, we are not afraid to respond to this challenge.

The passenger traffic is not contained within the region as the regions exotic sites and offers continually temp travellers from across the globe. Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore have consistently topped polls for long-haul destinations among travellers. Cosmopolitan cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo, Taipei and Seoul, the off-beaten-track cities like Ho Chi Minh, Hanoi, Vientienne, Phnom Penh and Chang Mai and Oz-NZ favourites like Sydney, Melbourne, Wellington and Auckland are all set to be the next travel hotspots of the coming decade.

GoQuos Managing Director, Ron Ramanan points out: Although the region has suffered a set back in the past 3 years due the international issues like terrorism and the avian flu, the region is making a spectacular comeback. With a cumulative regional population surpassing 1.8 billion, the importance of this market cannot be denied. And with the recently liberalised skies spurring a dramatic growth in regional carriers, the region is considered the most dynamic and most competitive in the world. We need to be there to capitalise on these developments and provide the necessary technology solutions to this emerging market.

With a theme of Power to the People, TRAVELtech Australia 2006 will be held in Sydney on the 22nd of August. For more information, please access:
