Nip/Tuck & Travel

Travel Comments Off

Trying to find acute refreshment or simply a small Nip / Tuck? Are you privy to the growing trend of medical tourism? If not, think about this, have the holiday adventure of your life in an exotic country, with sun, sea and spotless white beaches. Your private helper awaits you at the airport, accompanied by an automobile and a driver. You are whisked away to a luxury beach hotel where you are tenderly greeted and everything has been made “just right” for your arrival. This “lifestyles of the affluent and famous” treatment will run you half the price of staying at home and having just the surgery. Yes, you heard right half the price of staying at home and having just the surgery.

Imagine all this and hospital therapy or surgery performed by a number of most qualified surgeons in the world. Not surprising thousands of folks yearly are exploring the benefits of medical tourism. A well known Dallas socialite who travels each year to have “a no work done” recounted “Why in the world would I pay double the cash for 1/2 the quality?” that could be a good question. She went further adding, “I could never afford the top surgeon in Dallas, but in abroad I will, and would I need to trust my face or body to my 2nd choice because my wallet could not stretch far enough? Medical tourism is expected to be a worldwide 2 billion dollar market by 2012. States where medical tourism is being actively promoted include SA, India, Malaysia, Philippines Singapore and South America. The second, South America is understood for being home to maybe the best surgeons in the world.

There isn’t any end apparent for the international expansion of medical tourism, actually, Malaysian Airlines recently revealed their plans to become the 1st airline to order medical vacations direct from their travel agents and ticket counters. The giant tour operator Thomas Cook has articulated plans to market medical vacations in the future. The global requirement for cosmetic surgery rises each year and as more people who needs “Nip / Tuck” will realize they can afford VIP treatment with a top surgeon in another country and now they are packing their bags and heading to the airfield.
