PATA to check into healthcare
PATA aims to establish a Healthcare Travel Advisory Task Force, in conjunction with MEDICO Services International, Bangkok.
Greg Duffell, CEO, PATA said, “We recognise the importance of this emerging tourism market segment. We are keen to identify both the opportunities and challenges in this niche for our members and potential new members.
“Medical tourists are customers for airlines, hotels, tour operators and insurance companies, as well as hospitals and wellness spas.
“I welcome expert contributions and expressions of interest in joining our new advisory task force.â€
The task force will conduct surveys, gather opinions, enable debates, and push for solutions to share with the industry at large.
Also proposed is a programme of specialised conferences and workshops for industry stakeholders.
The deadline for submitting expressions of interest to join the advisory task force is September 3, 2010.
