The number of patients travelling to the Asia Pacific region for healthcare from other regions is forecast to increase by 17% in 2013, with the largest patient numbers coming from the Middle East, followed by Europe and North America, with the lower cost of treatment and immediacy of treatment being the main draw-cards. Several countries in the Asia Pacific region are investing in creating competitive healthcare tourism industries. The Singaporean government has been very successful over the last decade in developing both the infrastructure and marketing operations to position the country as a healthcare tourism destination.
