| TravelBizmonitor.com – India’s medical tourism industry is set to take a significant hit if tension with Pakistan persists. Hospitals and industry experts fear the visa hurdles may restrict the movement of patients from Pakistan, who constitute 15-20 percent of the total international travelers coming to India for medical treatment, causing a chunk of revenue loss for the country, according to a report by Sushmi Dey in the Business Standard. While the number of patients from the neighboring country has already started reducing in some hospitals starting this week, the impact on India’s medical tourism is expected to slow more after around a month if the situation continues. |
