Turkish Airlines, the national carrier of Turkey, is taking an active role in global health tourism by offering a 50 per cent transportation rebate for foreign travellers coming to Turkey for their treatment.

The airline will provide support to Turkey’s public and private sector organisations that provide important components in the health tourism sector, which has shown significant growth and will become a significant contributor to the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP).

With one of the most comprehensive route networks, Turkish Airlines has the ability to bring passengers from numerous points around the world to Turkey for medical and health reasons in order to support the promotion of health tourism in Turkey.

Under the programme, guests who choose Turkey for health tourism purposes will have the opportunity to benefit from not only the internationally accredited medical facilities and staff but will also enjoy a discounted fare following submission of required documents to the local Turkish Airlines Office in their city of origin. – TradeArabia news Service
