Medical Tourism Magazine Sets the Trend That Dominates Growth of the Industry-Editor Renee-Marie Stephano Addresses

WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA, Jul 07 (MARKET WIRE) --
Many publications have come and gone as the Medical Tourism Association
approaches the 3-year anniversary of Medical Tourism Magazine, the only
printed and online publication in the industry. Speaking on behalf of
contributors and members at large, President of the Medical Tourism
Association and Editor-in-Chief Renee-Marie Stephano reflects on where we
have been, where we are and where we are headed.

"Over the years, we have covered far-reaching topics ranging from
marketing medical tourism programs, innovative medical advancements,
global health insurance to sustainability programs. In this upcoming
issue, we are addressing an extremely important topic - that of global
events affecting medical travel, like healthcare reform," said
Renee-Marie Stephano.

In fact, on this anniversary date, the Medical Tourism Association is
also pleased to announce the official release of the Medical Tourism
Magazine's Issue 16 featuring articles such as "Medical Tourism - A
Solution for Healthcare" and "Healthcare Reform and Emerging Benefit
Program Opportunities." Read now at, http://www.medicaltourismmag.com/.

"The Medical Tourism Magazine keeps improving with every issue," says
Kenneth Mays of Bumrungrad Hospital. "It has become an invaluable source
of insights about this growing healthcare niche. The magazine covers and
collects topics of importance and significance to the medical tourism
sector from diverse sources all over the world."

According to Bill Cook, of Clinica Biblica Hospital in Costa Rica, "Like
it or not the Medical Tourism Magazine has become the de facto voice for
much of the Medical Tourism industry. This is due in no small measure to
its relevancy at all levels of the industry spectrum be it a patient, a
two-person facilitator operation, or the CEO of a multimillion dollar
insurance carrier. Each will find gems and insightful golden nuggets
between the pages of each issue."

Here at the Medical Tourism Magazine we make every effort to cover all
aspects of the medical tourism industry, missing nothing of importance or
relevance. If it's relevant, we cover it in a timely fashion. As this
industry continues to expand, we stay on top of the collaborations,
innovations and transformations as they occur. The Medical Tourism
Magazine is your go-to source; the location of important information
about this industry. Also, The Medical Tourism Magazine is your voice in
the industry as we welcome contributions for print.

Where does one go in the Medical Tourism industry for the most current
global healthcare news? According to Michael Bina, a Columnist from

Global Healthcare? Never mind its many contributors and collaborators
across the planet. On the basis of content alone, Medical Tourism
Magazine outperforms whoever is considered second best."

"The Medical Tourism Magazine is a valued and trusted source of quality
