The Korea Tourism Organisation, KTO, announced on Monday that South Korea will host a medical tourism exhibition in Abu Dhabi, on 10th and 11th November.
According to the Yonhap News Agency, the Korea Tourism Organisation and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism will co-host the "Korea International Medical Tourism Convention", with the aim of attracting more Middle Eastern patients in need of advanced treatment.
A total of 28 organisations, including 16 hospitals, related government organisations and travel agencies, will attend the exhibition to introduce travel packages combined with medical programmes.
"Free medical consulting services and Korean traditional performances will be held on the sidelines of the events for the visitors," the organiser said.
According to the ministry, 6,101 patients from the Middle East visited South Korea last year, up 11.2 percent from the previous year. Those from the UAE numbered 2,946, accounting for nearly half the total, followed by Saudis with 1,215 and Egyptians with 411.
