This book examines the global influence and scope of medical
tourism with an emphasis on the city of Kolkata in Eastern India as
an emerging destination at the regional scale. Through a
geographical research perspective, the book discusses the
importance of the phenomenon of medical tourism including recent
trends, policies, and scale studies to develop sustainable
strategies for medical tourism at particular micro destinations. In
nine chapters, readers will become familiar with the multi-billion
dollar industry of medical tourism and the problems currently
associated with medical tourism at multiple scales. The trends of
medical tourism in and around the city of Kolkata are used to
demonstrate the roles of infrastructure and stakeholders in
implementing feasible and sustainable medical tourism in an
emerging destination. The first two chapters of the book provide an
introduction to medical tourism and the methodologies of this
study. Then chapters three through nine focus on medical tourism in
the case of Kolkata to discuss the regional applications and
developments of medical tourism. Topics addressed include medical
tourism facilities, stakeholders and tourists, guest-host
relationships, an assessment of development versus risk, and an
evaluation of strategies to manage rising medical tourism in
Kolkata. The concluding chapter discusses future strategies that
could be used to implement the potentialities of a metropolitan
city as a medical tourism destination, based on studies done in
Kolkata. Readers who will find this work of interest include
students, practitioners, geographers, and researchers and
policymakers engaged in the medical tourism industry.
