The
major advantage of the medical tourism, dental tourism,
in India is its cost effectiveness and competency along
with attraction of tourism. The slogan, thus is ‘world
class treatment at ‘one by tenth prices’.
The total tour cost, including air fair, hospital expenses,
hotel accommodation and added tourism experience, works
out much less than the cost of surgery alone in many
other countries. |
