Mexico earns $1.44 Billion from international tourism in Januaryhttp://latino.foxnews.com/latino/news/2014/03/12/mexico-earns-144-bn-from-international-tourism-in-january

Mexico earned $1.44 billion from international tourism in January, up 17.4 percent from the same month in 2013, when the figure came in at $1.22 billion,

the Tourism Secretariat said.

According to the Global Retirement Index 2014 published by International Living.com, Mexico's affordable and top-notch health care is ranked higher than that of countries like

Spain, Italy, New Zealand or Brazil.

"This is not going to be a niche market; this is going to be an entire industry," said Eduardo Alvarado, chief executive officer of La Moreleja, a residential development in San Luis Potosí, a colonial city in northern Mexico that also sports Wal-Mart, Home Depot and many other businesses familiar to Americans.http://www.lamoralejaresidencial.com/Bienvenidos.html

There are already an estimated 1.2 million retired Americans and Canadians in Mexico who -- like their millions of compatriots back home -- will need a greater level of care at an affordable price. www.miamiherald.com

Javier Godínez-Villegas, president of the Mexican Association of Retirement Communities, thinks there are up to 50 Mexican cities and towns that are ideal for assisted-living facilities aimed at the U.S. and Canadian markets. There are many developers who are willing now to build these types of facilities, and more are coming,” he said. http://amarcanada.ca/home/

With the right facilities in place, Mexico could give American retirees a better quality of life at a better price than they could find in the United States," says Flavio Olivieri, a member of Tijuana's Economic Development Council, which is seeking funding from Mexico's federal government to build more retirement homes. "We think this could be a very good business as these baby boomers reach retirement age," he says.http://www.tedxamericasfinestcity.com/speaker/flavio-olivieri/

Consider the fact that medical tourism is a $100 billion industry, and growing. Now add to that by the year 2017, at least $228 billion in medical care is predicted to leave the United States for foreign markets. That figure has been forecast to grow at 35 percent each year. Those numbers alone make medical tourism an attractive field to bite into. No wonder the industry is attracting hundreds to pursue careers in medical tourism each day. But, it might come as an even greater surprise that medical tourism facilitators can usually profit 20-40 percent of the total cost of a procedure. In some cases, a medical facilitator can earn more than a surgeon in some countries. That’s because procedures are less expensive due to market price differences, and patient savings are that much higher overseas – up to 75 percent -- than those in the United States. ©Copyright 2013-2014 Medical Tourism Association®

Americans, particularly those living near the Mexican border, now routinely cross to Mexico for medical care. Popular specialties include dentistry and plastic surgery. Mexican dentists often charge one-fifth to one-fourth of US prices.Many who travel to Mexico for care report that they are satisfied. According to a report commissioned by Families U.S.A., a Washington advocacy group for health-care issues, "About 90 percent felt the care they had received in Mexico had been good or excellent. Only 80 percent rated the care they had received in the United States as good or excellent".

Tijuana has proven to be a convenient center for 'medical tourism'. Due to its strategic geographic location, patients from California and much of the west coast have turned to Tijuana for elective procedures as well as for others such as chemotherapy, among others. According to the San Diego Union Tribune, about 1 million Californians go to Mexico for healthcare, and most of these patients go to Tijuana. Many of these patients seek weight loss, and plastic surgery, in addition to alternative cancer treatments. According to the Secretary of Tourism of Baja California, in 2009, close to 8 million people went to Tijuana for some type of healthcare.In addition to dental and plastic surgery, Mexican hospitals are popular for bariatric surgery for weight loss. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_tourism#Mexico
