Is medical tourism going to be a Polish export good?

The Medical Tourism Chamber of Commerce (IGTM) filed an application with the Ministry of Economy to consider medical tourism an export specialization of the Polish economy.

Medical tourism is a rapidly growing global market sector in which patients travel to neighboring countries to obtain medical assistance. According to estimates, this market in 2004 was worth 40 billion dollars. Data prepared by Grail Research, LLC indicate that its value will rise to 100 billion dollars in 2012. Therefore, many countries strive to effectively promote their medical services abroad and include it into the export services offer.

- The reason for the growth of the potential of Polish medical tourism is the growth of medical costs in developed countries, long waiting lists for operations and deterioration in standards of health care - say IGTM experts.

Poland is cheaper and has the potential

Among the European Union countries, where patients already benefit from medical services in other countries, including in Poland, are: United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

In Europe the most significant countries, where medical tourism has great potential for development because of lower costs of treatment, good medical facilities, and high quality medical services, in addition to Poland, there are also Hungary, Czech Republic, Cyprus and Turkey.

The most important factor causing an increase in the number of the foreign patients in Poland are competitive prices. And no wonder, because our prices are at least four times cheaper than in other European Union countries, and the quality of services does not differ from the standards abroad.

In Poland, the average cost of treatment in the clinic of plastic surgery ranges from 1.5 to 14 thousand PLN. For example, the price of the breast augmentation in Poland reaches eight thousand PLN and gets higher depending on the size of implants, while in Belgium, the prices start from 3.4 thousand EUR (13 thousand PLN). The nose operation in Poland costs from three thousand PLN, while its prices start in Belgian hospitals from 1875 EUR (7.2 thousand PLN). It is also several times more expensive in other Western European countries.

Poland is going to catch up with Hungary

In our region the most experience in medical tourism are the Hungarians, they first opened their market for medical services for foreigners. There are opinions that the market for medical tourism in Hungary begins to become an industry.

- It should be noted that despite some delays to the Hungarian market, we have many strengths which will allow to catch up with Hungary if properly used, and even can put us ahead of our southern neighbor. Polish doctors are respected specialists in the West and increasingly sought after. We also report on the high development of certain medical specialties - says Artur Gosk. According to him, Poland is perceived in the European Union as a country with high economic and social opportunities.

How to ensure safety when riots broke out abroad

Travel agencies do not want to cancel trips and reimburse tourists' travelling expenses, when in the country of your destination political unrest erupted. Tourists, who in this case, resigns from the trip must go to court.

Canceled trips and early returns from the countries stricken with political and economic unrest, cause conflicts between tourists and travel organizers concerning bills and payments. Problems involve also the tourists' claims to insurance and the lack of proper security for the travellers in case of riots.

Before leaving

Each tourist should take care of his/her safety before leaving. First of all, you must determine whether, there is no ongoing unrest in the country of your destination. Such information can be found in the media, online, by reading the recommendations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. When the Foreign Office warns against travelling to a country where the riots began, indicates the increased risk of crime, then many travel agencies suspend planned trips. In return for the already paid tour, they offer the trip in other time or different destination. Unfortunatelly, the announcement from the Foreign Office about the safety problems, does not give you any legal power to gain refund from a Travel Agency if you decide to cancel your trip.

Does the travel agancy have to propose other trip once the planned one is canceled?

In exchange for the canceled tour, the agency may propose to go to the same country at another time or to another country in the same or another time. The proposed trip should last as many days as the canceled one, and the tourist must have the same benefits and be accommodated at a hotel of the same standard and the number of stars.

When the visitor chooses a different trip, he/she is not entitled to additional compensation from the agency. In contrast, when the tourist refuses to go on the proposed trip and requests a refund, then the agency often makes various deductions. When the settlement of reimbursement is not suitable for the tourist, he/she may seek redress in court.

The tourist will not get a refund for the visa, which was paid for at the embassy of the country of the supposed destination. The Embassy charges a fee for a visa regardless of whether the tourists decided to go to the country.

Earlier return

When a tourist is already in the country of riots, the best beneficial option for her/him is when the travel agency offers the earlier return and organizes the transport. In such a case there are very often a dispute between the tourist and the agnet concerning the reimbursment of costs of the remaing part of the trip. The contract between the sides does not verify how the refund should look like in such a case. When the sides fail to reach agreement, the tourist has the right to go to court and thereby assert claims.

The tourist is in much worse situation, when the agency does not agree to the earlier return. It is also quite common that in such a case, the agency requires the torusits to sign a statement saying that they stay in the country on their own risk and they resign from any compensation. The tourist has a right to refuse to sign the statement and come back earlier. In such a case, he/she will have to pay on their own for the transport. Upon the return, however, he/she has the right to ask the office for reimbursement and compensation. The tourist must also pinpoint the damage he/she suffered. He/She has the right to demand compensation for the damage caused by earlier return.

Gdansk is visited by tourists, not only because of its coastal location, beautiful beaches, a healthy climate and the nearby tourist resort of Sopot. Noteworthy is the historic Old Town with the world's largest brick gothic temple. The present appearance reflects the complicated history of Gdansk. Over the centuries it has repeatedly passed from hand to hand, and the August 1980 of Gdansk is considered the beginning of the disintegration of the postwar order in Europe.

However, Krakow is not just monuments and museums, but above all, a vibrant city, with numerous gardens, cafes, pubs, clubs and restaurants that fill up especially in the summer.

5. Malbork

The Teutonic Order was founded around 1190 years in Palestine, to promote the Christian faith among the infidels. In the fourteenth century, the Teutonic Knights, invited by Prince Konrad Mazowiecki on Polish soil, conquered the tribe of pagan Prussians and moved its headquarters from Venice to Malbork. Tracing the history of the Teutonic castle of Malbork is an impressive red brick, built on the banks of the Nogat in 1274. It is the largest preserved Gothic fortress in Europe.

7. Oswiecim

This small town, better known under the name "Auschwitz", witnessed one of the greatest crimes in human history.

Its eternal snow covered peaks and steep slopes, while picturesque valleys and numerous ponds determine the unique charm of this place.

After World War II the Polish capital was virtually entirely reconstructed. In the center of Warsaw, there is a number of skyscrapers and it's planned to build more, but still, in terms of architecture, the Palace of Culture and Science, a souvenir from Stalinist era, mainly attracts attention. In the metropolitan city, you can also take a journey into the past by visiting the Old Town, the Royal Route, the Chopin Museum, the old Jewish ghetto, and other historic palaces.

You can take the 2.5-hour trip during which you discover mysterious caves, salt lake and the beautiful Queen Kinga's chapel.
