Deputy Tourism Minister Elena Rapti referred to the dynamics of medical tourism in Greece and its constantly increasing margins for growth, while addressing an event organised by the American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (AHEPA) of Kos and the municipality of the island of Kos.
Rapti said that Greece is 9th in Europe as a medical destination, with potential for an even better position given the rising trend of annual international medical tourism, which is rising at double the rate of general tourism.
“It is not a coincidence that visitors choose Greece, primarily for in-vitro fertilisation – medically assisted reproduction, which is the most mature form of medical tourism in the country,” she added, stressing that the ministry’s actions aim to further promote health and wellness tourism.
