Ian Youngman, author of the 760 page “Medical Tourism 2008 - The
World-Wide Business Guide”, is producing a new series of
country-specific reports, going into much greater detail than is
possible in the world overview.
.
The
first report in the Emerging Medical Tourism Countries series is now available;
South Korea 2008
This
will be followed by Taiwan, China and Hong Kong,
Costa Rica, The Philippines,
Mexico, Israel, and Malaysia.
South Korea was chosen as the first
country as, almost unknown a year ago, it is being very active and targeting
specific markets.
These
unique reports investigate from a business perspective what is happening and
will happen in all types of medical and health tourism in individual countries.
They are not consumer guides.

Ian
Youngman comments, “There are many new countries seeking medical travellers.
Those with a high profile are not necessarily those that will have the most
impact. I have chosen countries with long- term potential for success. South Korea is
underrated and under-estimated by its competitors.”
