Daejeon City Establishes 'Medical Tourism' Bases in Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi, Vietnam
The ‘Daejeon Medical Tourism Support Center’ will be operated in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, Vietnam. The support center was established to revitalize the attraction of medical tourists from Vietnam. Vietnam is the second largest country, after China, in terms of the number of foreigners visiting Daejeon for medical tourism purposes.
According to Daejeon City on the 25th, the support center will serve as a hub to attract foreign patients to the region by promoting Daejeon medical tourism locally in Vietnam, providing consultations for medical tourists, building networks with local agencies, recruiting and dispatching customers, and managing follow-up care.
Previously, Daejeon City and Daejeon Tourism Organization jointly conducted a public contest for the ‘Daejeon Medical and Wellness Tourism Promotion Overseas Hub Center Support Project’ and selected Medi in Korea in Ho Chi Minh City and Jigucheon Segyeilju Co., Ltd. in Hanoi as overseas hub institutions.
The support center will be operated in a way that the overseas hub institutions bear the costs of office space rent, public utility fees, and personnel operating expenses, while Daejeon City and Daejeon Tourism Organization support the promotion and marketing expenses.
On the day of the opening ceremony, Daejeon City held a medical tourism promotion event in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi in collaboration with medical institutions attracting foreign patients, linking medical services such as health checkups, cosmetic surgery, dentistry, ophthalmology, and spine and joint care with the local festival ‘0si Festival’ to maximize the effect of promotion and marketing.
The promotion event was conducted as a session to introduce the overall medical tourism infrastructure of Daejeon City and to highlight the strengths of medical institutions located in Daejeon to local agencies in Vietnam.
