Exhibition Introduction
Chinese outbound tourists cover nearly 200 countries around the world, with more than 150 million people. The huge population and high consumption capacity mean huge demand for medical and health care. The 2024 World Medical Tourism Conference and Medical Tourism Expo will be held at the same time as the 8th Hainan International Health Industry Expo.
Advantages of Hainan Free Trade Zone in hosting medical tourism exhibitions:
Geographical and policy advantages:
As China's international free trade zone (port) and international tourism island, Hainan has special policy advantages, such as tax policy and free trade advantages, which provide a good environment and conditions for the holding of medical tourism exhibitions. Hainan has implemented visa-free entry for tourist groups from 59 countries, which will help attract more international exhibitors and tourists to participate in the exhibition.
Advantages in medical resources:
As a national pilot zone, Hainan Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone has established direct cooperation with four-fifths of the world's top 30 pharmaceutical and medical equipment companies. There are 135 anti-tumor and rare disease drugs and equipment that are not listed in China in the park, which shows its advancement and innovation in the medical field. Hainan's medical tourism services cover diversified needs from in vitro fertilization, intensive care treatment, precision physical examinations to anti-aging services, meeting the needs of domestic and foreign consumers for healthy and high-quality medical services.
Advantages in market demand:
China has become one of the world's largest cross-border medical tourism markets, and the medical tourism market has huge potential. Hainan can further promote the development of the medical tourism industry and meet the needs of domestic and foreign consumers by hosting the World Medical Tourism Exhibition.
The exhibition can help medical and health consumers learn about global high-quality medical resources without leaving the country, connect with advanced medical tourism service agencies at home and abroad, and customize personalized medical tourism plans.
Exhibition platform advantages:
The World Medical Tourism Exhibition is a one-stop platform for communication and cooperation. It is expected to attract nearly 300 international hospitals and medical tourism service agencies at home and abroad to participate in the exhibition, focusing on displaying multi-national characteristic medical projects. The exhibition can not only help medical and health consumers connect with advanced medical tourism service agencies at home and abroad, but also help channel dealers and service agencies to understand international cutting-edge medical tourism information, seek projects with development prospects, and share business opportunities.
