Team Samrat Singh Different Types Of Tourism !!!

Different forms of tourism

There are different types of tourism. The recent trend is moving toward niche segments of tourism:
• Medical/healthcare tourism • Adventure tourism • Heritage tourism • Ecotourism • Rural tourism • Pilgrimage tourism

Medical tourism

Medical tourism also known as health tourism has emerged as one of the important segments of the tourism industry. The term has been coined by travel agencies and the mass media to describe the rapidly-growing practice of travelling across international borders to for healthcare. Travelers typically seek services such as elective procedures as well as complex specialised surgeries such as joint replacement (knee/hip), cardiac, dental, and cosmetic surgeries. Psychiatry, alternative treatments, and convalescent care are also available.
Several factors have contributed to growth in medical tourism worldwide. These include:

                                         Low travel costs

Significant reduction in travel costs worldwide has made travel to other countries for medical treatments more affordable. This has also boosted industry growth.
High growth of world-class medical treatments in developing countries
Healthcare facilities in many developing countries have improved significantly in recent years and their standards of healthcare are now on par with that in the US or Western Europe.
Medical tourism has done exceptionally well in India and the number of medical tourists coming into the country is increasing. Rising healthcare costs in the developed economies, especially the US and the UK, is forcing patients from the region to look for cost-effective and alternative forms of treatment. India, with its pool of highly trained and specialised doctors, good healthcare infrastructure facilities, relatively lower cost of treatment and availability of alternative forms of treatment such as Ayurveda, Yoga, Siddha, and Naturopathy is seeing strong growth in medical tourism.
Medical tourism is promoted through suitable packaging of identified best hospitals and price banding as per treatment requirements. The medical costs in India are much lower at around 25% of the costs in the European and US markets. Medical tourism has grown swiftly despite the economic slowdown. The industry is still at a nascent stage and holds immense potential.
The key benefits of medical treatment and medical tourism in India are:
  •  World-class treatment at fraction of the cost in western countries
  •  Patients from more than 55 countries availing treatment in India
  •  Medical technology, equipment, facilities and healthcare infrastructure in India at par with international standards
  •  The Indian doctors recognised among the best globally.
Various medical treatments that can be availed in India include knee replacement, hip replacement, cosmetic surgery, dental treatment, and cardiac care.
The government is also taking several measures to promote medical tourism in the country. This includes issuance of “Medical Visa” for patients and their attendants coming to India for treatment. It has also requested the state governments to promote healthcare packages. Under the Market Development Assistance Scheme, financial assistance would be provided to medical tourism service providers (MTSP), i.e. accredited hospitals and medical tourism facilitators (travel agents and tour operators approved by the Ministry of Tourism and engaged in medical tourism).
