PRESS RELEASE
Alpharetta Georgia - USA May 27, 2010 --
Over 1 Million Americans go outside of
the country every year in order to save 60-70% on a medical or surgical
procedure, and that number is expected to more than double every 2 years. This
is one of the fasted growing segments in both the medical AND the travel
industries,
and hospitals such as Johns Hopkins, The Mayo Clinic, and Harvard already own
and operate offshore medical and surgical facilities that accommodate those
seeking procedures outside of the country.
Global Surgery Providers, Inc. is the first "wholesale medical tourism operator"
in the travel industry, allowing retail travel agencies to expand their
business
by sending their clients offshore for medical & surgical procedures. Company
founder and President, Jack Schafer. was a Wholesale Leisure Tour Operator from
1985 - 2001, and had over 120 retail agencies licensed to sell their "Mystical
Journeys Tours". Mr. Schafer got involved in the earliest stages of Medical
Tourism in 2007, and became one of the 1st "accredited" Facilitators in the
industry. Now he has developed a brand new business model that brings the retail
Travel Agencies into the food chain...." at a recent Employee Benefits
Conference, Mr. Schafer (a feature presenter) said, " … now that we are
developing main-stream medical procedures through self-insured employers and the
Health Insurance
Industry,
those providers (who stand to save 50% on their delivery of a procedures) are
insisting that we have local representatives that can work with their clients to
provide these offshore procedures".
Now,
with the expected increase from 1 Million to 5 Million passengers over the next
2 years, he has decided to go back to the marketing plan that was used in
Leisure Tourism, and the licensing, training, and accreditation of Retail Travel
professionals around the country to be able to market this Medical Tourism
Product to their clients. “This distribution channel has already proven itself…
we deliver the product is the same as any other "wholesale packaged tour would
do, the agent and agency earn a commissions, and handle the transportation side.
We train them, connect the local agency directly with the client, and provide
all of the services requires. We have a network that has taken us 3 years to
develop, including 12 of the most qualified medical facilities in the world, and
this is right now, the fastest growing segment in both Medicine and in Tourism
today !
Outsourcing Medical and Surgical procedures is the wave of the future for
planned procedures, and Global Surgical Providers is qualify provide the best
Medical Tourism product in the industry. "What we need is qualified travel
professional to work one-on-one with our clients around the country. Anyone can
find an overseas provider on the Internet", says Schafer, "that is the easy
part. What WE provide is the dozens of necessary pre and post procedure details
that create the overall experience. Experience, is what the tour and travel
industry has been delivering for over 150 years.
This is NOT
something that an agency (or agent) wants to do on their own. Anyone can
find an overseas provider on the Internet, says Schafer, that is the easy part.
What WE provide is the dozens of necessary pre and post procedure details that
create the overall experience.” He continues, “Global Surgery Providers will be
moving strictly to a wholesale
operation,
using our agencies to develop the
client
relationship,
and we have 32 “Niche Specific” Internet sites that are ready to go as a lead
generation source. Mr. Schafer says, “early on, we owned 32 of the best URL's in
the Medical Surgery Industry today... once we get this distribution channel in
place, we can concentrate on two items-
1. Generating and pass along leads generated by these 32 sites to local agencies
who can work with the clients directly.
2. Providing a complete “Medical Tourism” package tour for every client THAT
WILL SAVE THEM UP TO 50% FROM HAVING THE SAME PROCEDURE PERFORMED AT HOME.
3. Maintaining our network of the finest medical facilities and providers in the
world... It tool us 3 years to develop out overseas network to include
international facilities owned by the likes of Harvard, The Mayo Clinic, and
Johns Hopkins... as new hospitals open, we will be there to visit them and
include them ONLY if they qualify as "among the best..."
The Travel and tour industry has suffered a great deal with the Internet, the
economy, and instability and violence in the world. Medical Tourism brings back
business that no client could (or should) ever want to do on their own... AND
OUR AGENCY PARTNERS WILL BE OFFERING THE BEST THERE IS. PERIOD. The client will
50% in the process, have their procedures performed at a facility that is
as good of better than here, and participate in an industry that Forbes Magazine
says will go from $5 Billion to $20 Billion within the next 5 years.
“The ONLY thing that can slow down
this projected growth is the fact that the industry does not have a Distribution
Channel in place in place that can accommodate it." Schafer continues. '"This
agency program allows us the opportunity to work with thousands vs/ hundreds of
patients with the same resources, and brings a local contact representative to
work one-on-one with every patient.... thus we are free to do what we do best !
This is a One
Time opportunity for Retail Travel Professionals to get involved in the future
of Medical Tourism Industry, and it's a PERFECT FIT right now. " We need them as
much as they can benefit from this new explosive industry... a Win-Win for both
sides, and especially the patient.
