Cebu positioning to compete in medical tourism
While Cebu has been identified as lead area for the development of the wellness sector, officials here are also positioning the island-province as a premier destination for medical tourism.
Wellness and medical tourism, along with the retirement sector, make up the rapidly growing health tourism industry.
Government has identified Cebu to lead the wellness thrust because of the mushrooming of spa centers here. Metro Manila will lead the medical tourism thrust due to the presence of big hospitals there, while Pampanga will focus on retirement. GMANews
