Description

This important book examines the management of healthcare tourism in the Asia Pacific Region.

Its main focus is South Asia, an under-researched part of the region, but it does not neglect the rest of the region or its networks with other regions.

The book uncovers the significant roles played by the sociological, physiological, psychological, and economic aspects of healthcare tourism.

This compilation of conceptual and empirical research findings from diverse socio-economic and environmental settings in the developing Asia Pacific Region will enable the reader to triangulate the application of sustainable practices in global and local healthcare, while showing the importance of the travel factor in its development.

Regardless of the impact of disasters such as the COVD-19 pandemic, healthcare tourism is here to stay in a region that has magnificent attractions, good health infrastructure, and the traditional medicine teachings that have been gifted from unique ancient cultures.
