Hospitals check into hotels as medical tourism booms
The boom in medical tourism is encouraging hospitals and hoteliers to strike alliances with each other. According to industry estimates, the market size of medical tourism in India is growing at over 25 per cent annually at over US$ 2.5 billion. The segment's growing business potential prompted the ITC group to set up the 58-room Fortune Park Lake City business hotel at the Jupiter LifeLine Hospitals complex in Thane, near Mumbai, to serve medical tourists. Apollo Hospitals is exploring similar tie-ups with neighbourhood hotels.
