Abstract

Medical tourism is a growing industry that appeared as a niche market around the globe. From a strategic point of view, niche markets result in environments that have high profits and are accessible to a smaller number of businesses. This study is primarily concerned with the various services offered within the scope of medical tourism and statistics regarding the global prevalence of such services. Thus, any services that are widely available with cost being the main driving factor for a patient to receive the service abroad are excluded.
