REPRESENTATIVES OF WORLD HEALTH TOURISM ARE MEETING IN ISTANBUL Dear Representatives of the Health Tourism Sector, We have decided for the fourth International Health Tourism Congress to take place in Istanbul between 28-30 October 2011, which we organise it every year as the Health Tourism Association of Turkey. As it is well known, the Health Tourism Congress takes place every year with wider participation than the previous years and in a more functional form. It takes place with wide participation of important representatives of Health Tourism Sector from around the World and from Turkey as well as with participation of representatives of government and top level bureaucrats of Ministry of Health, Ministry of Culture and Tourism. The potential of the Health Tourism has transformed Turkey, whose share in the world market is ever growing, in to a regional Health Tourism Centre. The Health Tourism Congress becomes an effective base for the establishments investing in the sector in order to create new opportunities for them with regards to the great potential of Turkey. The most important objective of the Health Tourism Congress is to create new opportunities for our investors, who have made large investments in the Health Tourism and to become the platform in order to contribute for the development of the sector. With this objective in mind, special programs are organised for the congress in order that the representatives of the sector could achieve business connections with guests arriving from neighbouring countries as well as with representatives arriving from Middle Eastern, Central Asian, Balkans, European, North African countries and from the USA. On the other hand, opportunity is provided for the investors and businessmen to have one to one meetings with the representatives of the government and with bureaucrats in order to develop the sector. Another important feature of the Health Tourism Congress is that it brings together the investors and businessmen arriving from neighbouring countries as well as the ones arriving from Middle Eastern, Central Asian, Balkans, European, North African countries and from the USA with Turkish investors and businessmen. The Health Tourism Congress is also opening doors for new business connections for the hospitals, which especially have their activities in the health tourism field. We shall be pleased to see all of the representatives, managers and employees of the health and tourism sector at the IV Health Tourism Congress, where the finger will be put on the pulse of the Health Tourism.
