Abstract

Medical tourism is a type of niche tourism, characterized by rapid growth and development at present. The term reflects the practice of moving people from their permanent place of residence within their own country or abroad in order to consume a wide range of medical services of varying degrees of complexity. The medical tourism market has undergone changes over the past few years: if five years ago the leading positions were occupied by the USA, Germany and Israel, then today the top five are Singapore, Italy, Japan, Switzerland and Australia. Our country is gradually becoming a competitive player in this market, which confirms Russia's inclusion in the list of countries where you can get high-quality and relatively inexpensive medical care. The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state of medical tourism, as a result of which strategic priorities have been identified for the successful functioning of a high-quality and competitive medical tourism industry. Multidimensional conclusions were made for solving strategic tasks of organizing and ensuring the sustainable development of the medical tourism industry in the Russian economy.
