China in Key Position to Attract Medical Tourists

The Ciming Health Check Group received nearly 1000 phone calls, many from Chinese patients interested in anti-aging treatments near Lake Lucerne or face lifts in Seoul. Many of the company’s advertised packages start at US$10,000 including treatment, travel, and accommodation and can run $30,000 or more.

For these companies, selling medical travel packages to growing numbers of Chinese customers wishing to receive treatment abroad is already big business. Now, Chinese firms want to promote their own facilities at home to growing numbers of foreign medical tourists.

China’s major urban centers of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou have already attracted growing numbers of medical tourists due to advanced technology, higher quality of service, and affordable prices.

In addition, Hainan Island’s natural beauty has been marketed as therapeutic for foreign patients receiving treatment there.
