Abstract

At present, Asia constitutes the most important medical tourism region. Medical tourism is a growing sector in India. India is becoming the 2nd medical tourism destination after Thailand. Chennai is still regarded as "India's Health City" as it attracts 45% of health tourists visiting India and 40% of domestic health tourists.
India has a potential to attract 1 million health tourists per annum which will contribute US$ 5 billion to the economy. India’s medical tourism sector was expected to experience an annual growth rate of 30% from 2012, making it a $2 billion industry by 2015. India is increasingly becoming popular with people from middle east, Africa and SARC countries seeking medical treatment overseas, because of it highly qualified doctors and state-of-the-art equipment, and the treatments which are approved by the World Health Organization (WHO).¹
