Riz Khan - Medical tourism - 08 Sep 08 - Part 1
|
So-called medical tourism where patients travel to foreign countries in order to receive care is not a new phenomenon.
But new figures from Deloitte LLP, an international consulting firm, show how popular the practice has become with an estimated 750,000 Americans seeking medical care abroad in 2007.
Projections indicate this number could be as high as six million by 2010.
As interest in medical tourism increases experts say it is necessary for people to understand the risks that it poses.
The issue of healthcare is without a doubt high on the agenda of millions of Americans, but it is also important in those countries with universal health care policies as waiting time for procedures gets longer, costs increase and the quality of medical care following treatments often leaves a lot to be desired.
Riz discusses the phenomenon of medical tourism with Josef Woodman, author of Patients Beyond Borders, Vishal Bali, CEO of the Wockhardt Hospital Group in India, and neuroscientist Dr Wise Young. |

Seaside Heights Sun and Fun Promo Tourism Film 1960
|
This promotional film from 1960 was discovered by Peter J. Smith, Director of the Seaside Heights Office of Public Relations in May 2008, and was converted to modern video format by Joe
Verderosa of Greenrose Media. Peter had seen this film once before in his life, when it was shown by Mr. Hugh J. Boyd, Principal of his namesake school in Seaside Heights.
Peter spent five years looking for this video inside the Borough Hall. One day, he had to reach high on a shelf to retrieve a box of 8 radios.
However, the box only had 7 radios inside. This made him grab a stepladder and look for the radio. The radio was found on top of a reel of film, which turned out to be the long-lost Sun and Fun video. We like to think that the spirit of J. Stanley Tunney, who appears in this film, and is believed to occassionally make a paranormal visit to the Borough Hall, led us to this valuable piece of history.
NOW ON DVD AN BY POPULAR DEMAND!

Space Tourism - Russia
|
22 April 2002
In 2002, 28-year old internet tycoon Mark Shuttleworth became the first man to blast off in a spaceship as a paying guest. The price tag? A cool 20 million US dollars. With both America and Russia suffering drastic cuts in funding for their space Programs, enterprising Russians have taken the lead in the latest space race -- the race for tourists. As well as Shuttleworth's trip, they've designed a spacecraft capable of taking tourists on a quick orbit of the earth for a more affordable $100,000. |

Tourism encouraged in DPRK
|
Pyongyang, February 22 (KCNA) -- An increasing number of foreigners hope for tourism in the DPRK with the tourist season at hand. Visitors are always welcome and their personal safety is surely guaranteed in the DPRK which values international visits, exchange, mutual understanding, cooperation and respect.
The government encourages tourism with a view to strengthening solidarity with peoples of all the countries in the idea of independence, peace and friendship and building a more prosperous and civilized country.
The first travel company was established in the country in August Juche 42 (1953) and later the state general bureau of tourism for the development of tourism.
The DPRK became an official member of the World Tourism Organization (WTO) in September 1987.
In April 1997 it was officially admitted to the Pacific Area Travel Association (PATA).
The state allotted a great amount of fund to building tourist grounds and service facilities at scenic spots.
Hundreds of tourist grounds involve the capital city of Pyongyang, the west sea barrage, a leading lock gate of the world, and such famous mountains as Mt. Myohyang, Mt. Chilbo and Mt. Kuwol.
Tourism in the DPRK includes inspection of monumental edifices and historical and cultural relics and remains in Pyongyang and ecological tourism aimed at promoting health and training bodies while resting and vacationing at beautiful and attractive scenic spots.
Tourism also includes medical treatment, the training of Taekwon-do and dance notation, the study of Korean language and the observation of animals and plants.
What is noteworthy in this year's tourism is to appreciate 100,000-strong gymnastic and artistic performance "Arirang," a masterpiece in the 21st century. Revolutionary opera "The Sea of Blood," national opera "Tale of Chun Hyang" and joint performances of schoolchildren and circus performances are also being prepared.
The state general bureau of tourism is now busy with preparations to meet the increasing demand for tourism.
Those who want to witness the peculiar feature of the DPRK vigorously advancing with the might of the single-hearted unity, the climax of fascinating art and the beauty of attractive nature may contact with the state general bureau of tourism. address:
Jungsong-Dong, Central District, Pyongyang, DPRK. Telephone: 850-2-18111, Fax: 850-2-3814547. |
