We at Amadeus Int’l Fairs Group (AIFG) have the pleasure in extending a warm welcome to all exhibitors, hosted buyers and trade visitors to the 5th International Health Tourism Exhibition (I.H.T), set to go 12-14 Dec 2007 in Bahrain.

Bahrain has an excellent track record in the fields of tourism as well as health care and it has been the express desire of tourism and health authorities to leverage this expertise into a viable health-tourism industry. Worldwide, health tourism is a booming industry and with the ease of travel across continents, it has become more and more a regular feature in the health plans of people to seek advanced medical treatment outside their country. Health authorities too are keen to tie up with cost-effective health care delivery sources that can provide sophisticated care options for their citizens.
Bahrain is particularly well suited to host this event since it is recognized for its excellent health care standards by world bodies such as the World Health Organization and is currently going through a boom in private medical services. Moreover, the liberal social environment and traditional hospitality of the Bahraini people, coupled with the outstanding tourism infrastructure makes it an ideal holiday destination and a hub for medical services in the region.

We are positive that the forthcoming IHT 2007 will result in excellent business and wishing you a successful and rewarding participation.
