Medical Tourism and REAL ESTATE

Patients have always been seeking better and/or more affordable healthcare in other countries. In some cases, a particular medical treatment may not be available in their country and patients are required to travel overseas in order to get treatment. This reality has existed from the beginning of healthcare and will continue after the COVID-19 pandemic has passed. The structure and medium through which medical tourism is facilitated will be different and now it will rely heavily on the internet. Internet companies such as Airbnb and Homestay has changed a lot of the structure of the travel industry and most tourists are seeking affordable accommodations from homeowners more often than from hoteliers. After COVID-19, an airbnb for medical tourism will allow qualified medical professionals to act as hosts that accommodate patients as their guests. These medical professionals will have to adapt a strategy of operating a medical hotel instead of just a mere medical center or hospital. This is the strategy that will take medical tourism into the future after the year 2020. Gav-Inns 2020 intends to be a part of this revolution and will share ideas through this blog that will keep everyone informed about real estate trends and how it will affect medical tourism in the future.


Traveling within the borders of your own country in order to access better healthcare is also a form of medical tourism. A patient does not have to buy a ticket from an airline and travel overseas in order to be considered a medical tourist. Simply taking a taxi from a rural district to access healthcare in an urban area is a form of medical tourism. If a medical laboratory test is not available in one area of a country and you have to travel to another area of the country to get your medical laboratory test done, then that is medical tourism. Airbnb has leveled the playing field for homeowners to operate like hoteliers and now with medical tourism, all medical professionals can operate like hospitals. This is a new era of medical real estate and medical tourism which will be revolutionized by the internet.

Hotels are the new Hospitals

Image
Since the year 2020, and the reality of the COVID-19 pandemic, hotels and other form of hospitality companies are slowly becoming hospitals. Hospitals are so overburdened with patients that there is a need for more beds and hotels are the best alternative. Hotels, Inns, Motels, Dorms and other types of accommodation are being converted into Hospitals. A lot is currently changing for medical tourism and real estate in this new information age and there are industries that are slowly transforming. In order to adapt to this change companies will have to pivot and take risks to survive.
