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

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.

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.

HealthCare Tourism International, the first US-based non-profit to accredit the non-
clinical aspects of health tourism, such as language issues, business practices, and false or
misleading advertising prevention. The group provides accreditation for all major groups
involved in the health tourism industry including hotels, recovery facilities, and medical
tourism booking agencies.
The United Kingdom Accreditation Forum (UKAF) is an established network of
accreditation organisations with the intention of sharing experience good practice and
new ideas around the methodology for accreditation programmes, covering issues such as
developing healthcare quality standards, implementation of standards within healthcare
organisations, assessment by peer review and exploration of the peer review techniques
to include the recruitment, training, monitoring and evaluation of peer reviewers and the
mechanisms for awards of accredited status to organisations.
