Dubai has recently bagged the top honours at the World Health Tourism Congress for the concept of medical and health tourism. The Arab Tourism Organization was among the supporters of this summit. Dubai has received the support not just of the U.A.E. but also the entire GCC belt. The idea is to promote the concept of medical tourism across the region which in turn will create numerous tourism jobs. This forum was a two day affair and was attended by representatives from more than eighty countries.
