MEDICAL TOURISM DEVELOPMENT AND GOVERNMENT INCENTIVES IN TURKEY
Ercüment Okutmuş, Ata Kahveci
Abstract: Medical tourism has grown rapidly due to the increased costs in developed countries. This trend created an opportunity for undeveloped or developing countries to bring foreign exchange which is vital for their economies. That’s why, medical tourism and government incentives has been evaluated as a direction example for national economy development. Undeveloped and developing countries can direct the investment of private sector to medical tourism in order to maximize their service export revenue and increase competitiveness by using government incentives.
