Booming segment: medically based travel

The Medical Tourism sector, dedicated to health-orientated, medical travel, is an important and fast-growing market segment with world-wide importance. Thus, in the past years, it has become a well-established tourism segment of ITB Berlin, a unique platform for Medical Tourism. The Medical & Health Tourism Pavilion is home for clinics, hospitals, hotels and destinations which provide medical & health tourism services in this booming market. Especially, medical buyers and agencies are invited to visit the pavilion.

At the segment’s own stage, the Medical Tourism Educational Hub, international trade visitors are invited to attend presentations, expert-interviews and panel discussions to find out more about the latest trends and developments of the global Medical tourism market.

At the well-attended Medical Media Lunch, journalists and editors have the chance to get in touch with Medical tourism providers and exhibitors to receive first-hand information.

Among further networking events, the ITB Medical & Health Night is a well-established first-class networking opportunity for all exhibitors, buyers and media who are interested in Medical Tourism. It takes place on ITB Wednesday evening at the Amano Grand Central Hotel.

The distinguished ITB Medical & Health Tourism Award will also be bestowed upon an out-standing destination or supplier during the Medical Night.
