What are hospital hotels? How is it going to boost India’s medical tourism

According to the India Hospitality Industry Overview 2022 report by HVS Anarock, the future of the medical tourism industry lies in the development of dedicated hospital-hotel mixed-use projects and patient hotels. This business model, already successful in Scandinavian countries and Asian nations such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Thailand, holds the potential for significant profitability while also realizing India’s true wellness and medical tourism potential.

Farhat Jamal, Chairman, IMC Travel Tourism and Hospitality Committee, says that by integrating the sectors of health and hospitality, India can provide medical travelers with a seamless tourism experience. It offers access to the best medical treatments and preventive care, creates job opportunities for the youth of the country, and imparts knowledge about the science of healthy living.

Combining cost-effective medical treatments with India’s centuries-old heritage and diverse topography offers travelers the best of both worlds: health and hospitality. The allure of the quintessential “India experience” while receiving top-notch medical care will undoubtedly attract a steady stream of visitors seeking holistic well-being.

To fully harness the potential of medical tourism, India must embrace the concept of hospital-hotels. These dedicated facilities will play a pivotal role in creating a nurturing environment that prioritizes both medical care and guest comfort. By seamlessly integrating healthcare services with high-quality accommodation, India can position itself as a leading destination for medical tourism. Asian Medical Tourism
