Medical Tourism Facilitator, Costa Rica MD announces exciting new partnership with Tour Operator

June 11, 2010 - PRLog -- San Jose, Costa Rica
Costa Rica has always lured its fair share of tourists, drawn to the country’s awe-inspiring and breathtaking scenery and rich culture.  But a relatively new attraction is gaining ground on the travel scene – medical tourism.  Costa Rica has the potential to receive thousands of medical tourists annually, says the Council for Promotion of Medicine in Costa Rica (PROMED).  

Collaborating to responsibly promote and sustainably grow the medical tourism travel market is the catalyst behind a newly reached agreement between Expediciones Tropicales and Costa Rica MD Services.  

Costa Rica MD is pleased to announce the new partnership with Expediciones Tropicales, offering medical tourism travelers an exclusive collection of relaxation and adventure packages including Costa Rica MD Services’ medical and dental treatments provided by an elite group of physicians, surgeons, and dental specialists within the exclusive Costa Rica MD network.  

The new partnership delivers 10 unique adventure packages from one day tours to multi-day tours in the city of San Jose, Arenal, Monteverde, Manuel Antonio, Guanacaste, and many more.  All tours include round trip transfers, hotel stays to accommodate every budget, and a life changing experience when combined with the medical and dental services offered by the Costa Rica MD network of board certified medical and dental professionals.

“We are ecstatic to announce Expediciones Tropicales as Costa Rica MD’s preferred tour operator.” said Costa Rica MD Services’ Marketing Director Heather Wilson.  “We believe that this new partnership will offer our medical tourists the opportunity to not only improve their health while in Costa Rica but to also to have a unique travel experience.”

“This partnership represents an unprecedented opportunity to expose a broader group of passionate health travelers to our exciting and sustainable tours, “said Sales Manager Syliva Lobo.  Medical tourists have an intriguing array of itineraries to select from including the hot springs at the Arenal Volcano, a gondola ride over the cloud forest, a tour of the Manuel Antonio National Park, or a relaxing journey to see the serene sunsets at one of the exotic beaches that Costa Rica has to offer.  

A personalized exclusive collection of tours has been created for medical and dental tourists for a perfect combination of adventure and relaxation depending on the procedure or treatment the traveler will undergo and based on doctor’s recommendations for the recovery portion of their medical trip.

Expediciones Tropicales is a leader in the adventure and leisure travel industry in Costa Rica with fifteen years’ experience offering small group adventures in all seven provinces and to thousands of travelers annually.   The tours focus on nature and culture and are ideal for those with a sense of adventure and who want to immerse themselves into an authentic experience.
