| Title | MEDICAL TOURISM: THE ANALYSIS OF POSITIVE ASPECTS OF ESTABLISHING MEDICAL TOURISM SECTOR IN LITHUANIA |
| Summary | Even though Lithuania has strong assets and facilities to increase the medical tourism, the country is still not known as the medical tourism destination. This thesis is focusing on the medical tourism as the separate national sector. Since the medical tourism is quite a new phenomenon that attracted academic interest just in the 1990s thus there is not much research done on this topic and on the possible implications on the country that is known as the medical tourism destinations. This paper is aiming to analyse the impacts of having medical tourism as the strong and perspective sector in Lithuania. In order to draw conclusions, empirical data was gathered on the medical tourism as the separate part of the tourism and as the part of international business strategy. Following that, the case study of Lithuania and its current assets was used to analyse possibilities on how to promote and increase the interest of medical tourism. Given the findings and analysis, some recommendations of how to increase the interest in Lithuania as the medical tourism country is provided. |
