THE Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation (TTDC) has tied up with Apollo Hospitals to launch a 15 per cent discount coupon on the Apollo preventive health check to promote Tamil Nadu as a healthcare destination.
The preventive health check can be conducted in any of the Apollo Hospitals or its clinics spread across the country at the special discount rate.
The travellers privilege coupon comes along with the ticket purchased for any of the tours organised by TTDC.
Mr Shaktikanta Das, Commissioner-Tourism and Managing Director, TTDC, said that this year's government policy note had spelt out the initiatives, which will be taken to promote medical tourism. Tamil Nadu was strong not only in the traditional systems of the medicine but also had some of the leading hospitals in the country.
The Government is working towards highlighting the available medical benefits among the international and domestic tourists.
There are already a large number of people from all over the world who come for treatment at the super-speciality hospitals.
This treatment costs just one-fourth the cost of that available in other countries.
Ms Preetha Reddy, Managing Director, Apollo Hospitals Group, said that health and medical tourism is becoming one of the fastest growing segments in the country.
And the potential of this segment would benefit the economy as a whole.
