Each Korean Local Government claims to stand
for Medical Tourism. Many see Medical Tourism Industry will become Korea's best
item that breaks through IT and Car Industry in the future. How come Medical
Tourism Industry receives so much attention then? The world has already entered
an advanced aging society. For this reason, people are getting more concerned
about their health. Health spending that is given a great deal of weight on the
household income is on an increasing trend every year. Because of the
well-being phenomenon that is all the rage recently, the world tend to move to
the place with inexpensive and great medical technology in order to stay
healthy and live longer. Mckenzie expects world medical tourism industry to
jump from 40 billion dollars in 2004 to 100 billion dollars in 2012 and mark an
average annual increase of 12.1 percent as a high growth. The Korean Government
accordingly chose Medical Tourism Industry as one of 17 growth engines leading Korean
economy in the future and is making systematic improvement plans and welfare
and Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in order to go with the flow of
world markets. Daegu city created first medical industry team as a nationwide
in March 2008 and attracted High Technology Medical Complex in August 2009 so
as to make an effort on building Medicity Daegu up as a mecca of Medical
Tourism. Daegu Medical Tourism Development Association, Incorporation started
to attract the world medical tourist by the common people. What kind of
capability does Daegu Medicity have?
The reason why confidence in Daegu
Medical Tourism is recently growing more and more is that profit figures for
attracting foreign patient in Daegu were ranked at third in the nation behind
Seoul and Kyonggi last year. According to the recent Ministry of Health and
Welfare statistics, the number of foreign patients in Daegu were 4,493. It grew
by approximately 60 percent compared to 2,816 for 2009. Daegu is especially
encouraged by taking third place taking over Busan(4,106) and Inchon(2,898).In
Busan, there are Japanese tourists who stay at the adjacent Busan, and better
overall medical infrastructures airport as the gateway to Korea and yet, Daegu
produced great accomplishments compared with these region. Because of Daegu's
special know-how for attracting foreign Medical tourist. We hope much from
this. Daegu is Korea's third largest city but it isn't well known outside of
Korea. Daegu hosted 2011 World Championships successfully and this year is
"Daegu Visit Year" that is state-designated. We should use this
excellent opportunity to expose Korea to the world. Daegu is making an effort

Daegu, Kyeung-Buk, High Technology Medical Complex. The significant economic
impacts of creating jobs for 380 thousand people and 82 trillion won Increased

ways to become Medical Metropolitan City are specially understood when having a
good look at the abundant medical infra-structure. Daegu is the region that has
the greatest potential for medical service industry except for Metropolitan
