    Tourism: An Indian overview

    Tourism is the largest service industry in India, with a contribution of 6.23% to the

    national GDP and 8.78% of the total employment in India. India witnesses more than 5 million

    annual foreign tourist arrivals and 562 million domestic tourism visits. The tourism industry in

    India generated about US$100 billion in 2008 and that is expected to increase to US$275.5

    billion by 2018 at a 9.4% annual growth rate. The Ministry of Tourism is the nodal agency for

    3/21

    the development and promotion of tourism in India and maintains the "Incredible India"

    campaign.

    Tourism will expand greatly in future mainly due to the revolution that is taking place on

    both the demand and supply side. The changing population structure, improvement in living

    standard, more disposable income, fewer working hours and long leisure time, better educated

    people, ageing population and more curious youth in the developed as well as developing

    countries, all will fuel the tourism industry growth. The arrival of a large number of customers,

    better educated and more sophisticated, will compel the tourist industry to launch new products

    and brands and re-invents traditional markets. The established traditional destinations founded on

    sun-sea-sand products will have to re-engineer their products. They must diversify and improve

    the criteria for destinations and qualities of their traditional offers. Alongside beach tourism, the

    tourism sector will register a steady development of new products based on natural rural

    business, leisure and art and culture. Thus the study of new markets and emerging markets andnecessity of diversified products are the basis of our strategy, which can enhance and sustain,

    existing and capture new markets.

    It is Indias vastness that challenges the imagination: the sub-continent, 3200km (2000

    miles) from the mountainous vastness of the Himalayas in the north to the tropical lushness of

    Kerala in the south, is home to one sixth of the worlds population, a diverse culture and an

    intoxicatingly rich history. Desert in Rajasthan, tropical forests in the north eastern states, arid

    mountains in the delta region of Maharashtra and Karnataka and vast fertile planes in northern

    states of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana etc are just some of the geographical diversity that can be

    observed. We have a wealth of archeological sites and historical monuments. Manpower costs inthe Indian hotel industry are one of the lowest in the world. This provides better margins for any

    industry which relies on man power.

    One of the fascinations of India is the juxtaposition of old and new; centuries of history

    from the pre-historic Indus civilization to the British Raj rub shoulders with the computer age;

    and Bangalore's Silicon Valley is as much a part of the world's largest democracy as the

    remotest village is.

    Tourism in Chennai

    With its historic landmarks and buildings, long sandy beaches, cultural and art centers and parks,

    Chennai's tourism offers many interesting locations to visitors. One of the most important

    tourist attraction of Chennai is actually in the neighbouring town of Mahabalipuram with its

    ancient temples and rock carvings of the 7th centuryPallavakingdom.

    practice of travelling across international borders to obtain health care. It also refers pejoratively

    to the practice of healthcare providers travelling internationally to deliver healthcare

    Medical tourism the process of leaving home for treatments and care abroad or

    elsewhere domesticallyis an emerging phenomenon in the health.

    AN INTRODUCTION

    History:-

    The concept of medical tourism is not a new one. The first recorded instance of medical

    tourism dates back thousands of years to when Greekpilgrims traveled from all over the

    Mediterranean to the small territory in the Saronic Gulfcalled Epidauria. This territory was the

    sanctuary of the healing god Asklepios. Epidauria became the original travel destination for

    medical tourism.

    Spa towns and sanitariums may be considered an early form of medical tourism. In

    eighteenth century England, for example, medtrotters visited spasbecause they were places with

    supposedly health-giving mineral waters, treating diseases from gout to liver disorders and

    bronchitis.

    Description

    Factors that have led to the increasing popularity of medical travel include the high cost of

    health care, long wait times for certain procedures, the ease and affordability of international

    travel, and improvements in both technology and standards of care in many countries.

    Medical tourists can come from anywhere in the First World, including Europe, the Middle

    East, Japan, the United States, and Canada. This is because of their large populations,

    comparatively high wealth, the high expense of health care or lack of health care options locally,

    and increasingly high expectations of their populations with respect to health care.

    The cost of surgery in India, Thailand or South Africa can be one-tenth of what it is in the United

    States or Western Europe, and sometimes even less. A heart-valve replacement that would cost

    $200,000 or more in the US, for example, goes for $10,000 in India--and that includes round-trip

    airfare and a brief vacation package. Similarly, a metal-free dental bridge worth $5,500 in the US

    costs $500 in India, a knee replacement in Thailand with six days of physical therapy costs about

    one-fifth of what it would in the States, and Lasik eye surgery worth $3,700 in the US is

    available in many other countries for only $730. Cosmetic surgery savings are even greater: A

    full facelift that would cost $20,000 in the US runs about $1,250 in South Africa.

    Process

    The typical process is as follows:

    the person seeking medical treatment abroad contacts a medical tourism provider.

    The provider usually requires the patient to provide a medical report, including the nature

    of ailment, local doctors opinion, medical history, and diagnosis, and may request

    additional information.

    Certified medical doctors or consultants then advise on the medical treatment. The

    approximate expenditure, choice of hospitals and tourist destinations, and duration of

    stay, etc., is discussed. After signing consent bonds and agreements, the patient is given

    recommendation letters for a medical visa, to be procured from the concerned embassy.

    The patient travels to the destination country, where the medical tourism provider assigns

    a case executive, who takes care of the patient's accommodation, treatment and any other

    form of care.

    Once the treatment is done, the patient can remain in the tourist destination or return

    home.

    International healthcare accreditationBecause standards are important when it comes to health care, there are parallel issues

    around medical tourism, international healthcare accreditation, evidence-based medicine and

    quality assurance.

    In the United States, the best known accreditation group is the Joint Commission

    International (JCI). They have been inspecting and accrediting health care facilities and hospitals

    outside of the United States since 1999 and are a trusted source for American medical tourists.

    Many international hospitals today see obtaining JCI accreditation as a way to attract American

    patients.

    In the UK and Hong Kong, the Trent International Accreditation Scheme is a key player.

    The different international healthcare accreditation schemes vary in quality, size, cost, intent andthe skill and intensity of their marketing. They also vary in terms of cost to hospitals and

    healthcare institutions making use of them. A forecast by Deloitte Consulting regarding medical

    tourism published in August 2008 noted the value of accreditation in ensuring quality of

    healthcare and specifically mentioned JCI, ISQUA and Trent.

    Increasingly, some hospitals are looking towards dual international accreditation, perhaps

    having both JCI to cover potential US clientele and Trent for potential British and European

    clientele. As a result of competition between clinics for American medical tourists, there have

    been initiatives to rank hospitals based on patient-reported metrics.

    Other relevant organizations include:

    The Society for International Healthcare Accreditation (SOFIHA), a free-to-join group

    providing a forum for discussion and for the sharing of ideas and good practice by

    providers of international healthcare accreditation and users of the same. The primary

    role of this organisation is to promote a safe hospital environment for patients.
