Pan-African Health Tourism Congress Business Opportunity Fair and exhibition 2017
This Congress is designed and is being staged as the de facto African Health Tourism Sector Flagship Event with the specific purpose of tabling and endorsing the policies and strategies which will expand the Industry to address a broader Market - meaning more business for all.
uMhlathuze Municipality KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa) in partnership with key industry stakeholders is pleased to host the Pan-African Health Tourism Congress Business Opportunity Fair and Exhibition under the banner "tapping a larger share of the health wallet". The global health tourism industry is valued at $20 billion per year, with nearly 7 million patients seeking health care abroad. African countries that count for South Africa, Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco and Mauritius have emerged as the clear leaders in the continent, with Morocco and Tunisia well positioned in North Africa to attract European patients.
Despite the notable growth of the medical tourism industry and the increasing number of countries promoting and branding them as medical tourist destinations, empirical insights into the construct of countries as medical tourism destinations have remained scant.
Some forward-thinking tourism organisation innovators have already made plans to redefine their businesses and enter a profitable niche market that is medical and wellness tourism, which combines attractive destinations - both domestically and internationally - with affordable and high-quality procedures and treatments for a nonstop list of health and wellness seekers. Destination marketing for leisure and medical travellers appear to share common ground; both types of travellers are often selecting a destination sight-unseen, so marketing messages may be especially important.
The Pan-African Health Tourism Congress Business Opportunity Fair & Exhibition seeks to gather employers, international and national insurance companies, foreign governments, consultants, brokers, agents, travel insurers, air ambulance companies and anyone involved in purchasing and providing expatriate health insurance coverage and travel insurance to their employees and members, dedicated to only the highest level executive attendees involved in this industry.
