Tourism consulting provided by Oxford Economics has confirmed that medical tourism as an industry is set to grow at twenty five percent per year. By the year 2025, the industry will be valued total at a staggering three billion US dollars. The Medical Tourism Index (MTI) was launched which basically puts an end to all speculations about numbers. The top five destinations identified as part of this study are Canada, Israel, India, the UK and Singapore. The likes of Germany, Italy, France, Colombia and South Korea rank next in the category. USA is the top spender but over the next decade China is likely to cross the figure. An average ageing population globally is the single most important reason for the expansion of this industry.
