Health Tourism in India

The quality of service coupled with comparatively low charges for common surgeries has made India an attractive destination for medical value travel.

The main clientele comes from the neighbouring countries but an increasing number of non-resident Indians (NRIs) settled in the US and the UK have also been availing of the healthcare services in India.

The competitiveness of India in health tourism is enhanced by the attractiveness of the alternative systems of medicine, Ayurveda in particular, for the foreign tourists.

With yoga, meditation, ayurveda, allopathy and natural herbal treatments, India offers a unique basket of services to foreign patient-tourists that are difficult to match by other countries.

The present work deals with the successful efforts in marketing health tourism products internationally, possessing glorious traditions of India.
