Tourism is a productive economical sector of the world, especially when a state bears tremendous natural sights. Those countries that are not blessed with the true flavors of nature go for alternative options. The development of healthcare tourism is one such alternative which earns some countries great foreign exchange.

One of the major reasons to choose Turkey in place of US is that the authorities of United States have not shown interest in developing health tourism. US is one of the leading countries of the world. It has more to worry and look upon to than to establish a firm healthcare tourism. On the other hand, Turkey is free from the complexity of world politics and is keen to develop an efficient network of medical tourism.

The cost of acquiring medical services in US is relatively higher than that in Turkey. One of the key reasons for the success of health tourism in Turkey is the factor of affordability. In the more developed countries like United States, the concerned authorities gain less profit and therefore the prices of medical services is fairly high.

Moving towards the political aspect of this topic, after the September 11 attacks, the people of Central Asia, Middle East and Subcontinent migrated back to their homes. All these were originally obtaining health care services, but were forced to come back.

Turkey is now considered as a safe and reliable option to acquire medical facilities. This is the main reason for the dramatic increase in the healthcare tourism, in Turkey. It must be emphasized here that Turkish people should not take everything for granted. They have to realize that they need to advertise and promote good things about their culture, facilities, and historical buildings, in order to attract more tourists.

According to some reports, in 2012, the expected income of health tourism will increase to as high as 140 %. This remarkable figure indicates the growing importance of this sector of economy and the increasing need of people to get medical attention. Turkey is gaining rapid fame for the affordable rates of all kinds of medical services. Even the sensitive open heart operation costs not more than 3000 to 5000 dollars compared to 70,000 dollars in USA.

This justifies for the increasing influx of tourists in Turkey. The Turkish doctors believe in treatment only. They are not concerned with making huge sums of money. Due to this dedication, healthcare tourism is picking up an incredible amount of fame off late. Though, the treatment charges in Turkey are economical, but it does not mean that quality treatment is not provided. People from all around the globe praise the technological advancements made in Turkey. Modern machinery is employed for work along with experience doctors to operate them.

A person requires best quality medical treatment, which is not, only effective and reliable, but affordable as well. Fortunately, Turkish medical centers have all of these ingredients. Hence, I would prefer to visit Turkey, instead of US, for medical treatment.
