What message would you like to share with the world about the importance of inclusivity and the power of the medical travel industry to unite people ?
Accessible travel and medical tourism both serve clients who need some level of assistance when they travel . The organizations that provide their services should make the experience safe and enjoyable . Making the world more accessible is not simply the right thing to do , it makes great business sense . The accessible tourism market is much bigger than the medical tourism market yet there is so much untapped potential . Governments and businesses should take a closer look at the opportunities , create accessible places and activities , and enjoy the many benefits that more people could experience . It is not a pipe dream . It is a worthy , achievable goal .
