		<description>I wonder if these hospitals are still offering medical tourism within the USA in light of the new health care bill that offers affordable medical care to all US citizens. The new bill does not cover dental treatments, only dental health awareness, therefore dental tourism to places like Mexico, Thailand etc should continue to increase. For more information on dental tourism in Asia, see the Smile Planners Dental Holidays Blog at http://smileplanners.com/blog/</description>

Twelve finalists chosen from the entries will win an experience of a lifetime: an all-inclusive seven-day Medical Tourism Familiarization Trip in Thailand, which will take place from November 20-26, 2010. Some of them will travel to  Phuket, Chiang Mai, Pattaya and Ko Samui, while others will explore Bangkok. The TAT will arrange additional sightseeing tours for finalists so they can experience the attractions of Thailand as a medical tourism hub.

During the competition period from November 20, 2010 to January 31, 2011, each finalist will use blog posts, photos, videos and other social media tools to share their daily experiences with the medical services available in Thailand  with a global audience. The goal is to inform readers about what is available and to persuade them to learn more about Thailand’s top medical tourism destinations.

In order to win, finalists must write the best blog post and attract the highest  number of unique visitors. The blogger who attracts the most unique visitors to their URL will win the top prize of $13,000 ($10,000 in cash plus luxurious hotel vouchers worth $3,000 at Sri Panwa, Phuket and Westin Grande, Bangkok), and the finalist who the judging committee decides has created the best blog will receive prizes worth $5,000 ($3,000 in cash plus luxurious hotel vouchers worth $2,000 at Ratilanna Riverside Spa Resort, Chiang Mai and Absolute Chandara Resort and Spa, Phuket). 

The competition is open to anyone who has experience writing blogs related to  tourism or medical tourism in English language or containing English language.  To enter, visit: www.MedBlogContest.com

		<description>After the hospital matches the Singapore price for that one group, do they jack up their prices for everyone else to make up for it? That would seem par for the course.</description>

		<description>Mr Goodman,
My research into medical tourism thus far has only highlighted hospitals with no attention or thought given to the small sole practionter who, as in this case, happens to be a Dentist. Any ideas how to go about attracting potential dental patients without an advertising budget or staff that could compete with hospitals for business?</description>
