Relevant research reports show that the current global Medical Tourism market size has reached 500 billion yuan, and the Medical Tourism China industry is also booming. The market size has risen from 13.9 billion yuan in 2010 to nearly 60 billion yuan in 2015. "Xinmei Finance" sorts out for you the four major "International Medical Tourism Pilot zones" that have emerged in China so far.

(Hainan) Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone

On February 28, 2013, The State Council officially approved the establishment of the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone in Hainan and granted nine supportive policies. The pilot area is located on both banks of the Wanquan River between the urban area of Jiaji Town, Qionghai City and the core area of the Boao Forum for Asia. This marks the establishment of China's first national-level development zone mainly featuring international Medical Tourism services, low-carbon ecological communities and the gathering place of national organizations, injecting new content and vitality into the construction of the international tourism island.

As the first international Medical Tourism pilot zone in China and the "experimental field" for the development of international Medical Tourism in Hainan Province, after several years of development, the pilot zone has successively attracted a number of high-end medical and health enterprises to settle in. Up to now, a total of 101 projects in the pilot zone have reached investment intentions, and 71 projects have been officially accepted, with a total accepted investment amount of 60 billion yuan. Among them, 36 projects have passed the medical technology assessment and 27 projects have started construction.

2. (Jiangsu) Changzhou International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone

In January 2015, the Jiangsu Provincial Government approved the establishment of the Changzhou International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone. This pilot area relies on the unique ecological resources and medical device industry advantages of the West Taihu Lake Science and Technology Industrial Park. The Changzhou International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone will plan and construct high-end physical examination centers, third-party biomedical testing centers, Xitaihu rehabilitation and convalescence centers, Xitaihu characteristic specialized diagnosis and treatment centers, Xitaihu International Medical Tourism centers, and Xitaihu elderly care and health care centers, etc.

Reports in 2015 indicated that the third-party biological medical testing center has now been decided to be jointly invested and constructed by Sinopharm Group and Da 'an Gene. The project signing has been completed, and the Xitaihu Rehabilitation and Convalescence Center located by the West Taihu Lake will be open to the public in 2017.

3. (Jiangxi) Shangrao International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone

In 2016, with the approval of the Jiangxi Provincial Government, it was agreed to establish the Shangrao International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone. The characteristic of the Shangrao International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone is that it takes stem cell technology as the core and is built and developed first relying on Beijing Hanshi United Biotechnology Co., LTD., Jiangxi Medical College and Shangrao Tourism Development Group Co., LTD. Its strategic positioning is: relying on the ecological tourism resources of Shangrao, Jiangxi Province, drawing on the successful experience and development model of the Mayo Clinic in the United States, and fully utilizing the Han's combined stem cell technology, to build a comprehensive development platform integrating "production, education, research, medicine, aesthetics and health care" in stem cell regenerative medicine, an international cooperation and exchange platform, a talent training base for stem cell regenerative medicine, and a scientific research base. The pilot zone fully incorporates the low-carbon concept in its construction and operation, aiming to build itself into a demonstration area for low-carbon healthcare, ecological healthcare and biomedicine.

The pilot zone plans to invest 40 to 50 billion yuan to increase the industrial scale of the pilot zone to over 50 billion yuan, among which the investment in the core area alone will reach 5 billion yuan.

In accordance with the development principle of "one core, two wings, and multiple points", that is, taking the Shangrao (International) Stem Cell Regenerative Medicine Industry-University-Research Base as the "core", the Lingshan Scenic Area and the Tongbo Mountain Scenic Area as the "two wings", and the rich tourism resources of Sanqingshan, Wuyuan, Guifeng and other places as the foundation, an overall "multiple points" layout is created. Gradually form comprehensive development models such as "treatment + tourism", "health preservation + tourism" and "beauty + tourism". The core area of the Medical Tourism Pilot Zone will be developed into a major town of regenerative medicine in the world. On the one hand, it will focus on building related upstream and downstream industries such as medical service centers, third-party medical testing and medical aesthetics around the Shangrao (International) Stem Cell Regenerative Medicine industry-university-Research Base. On the other hand, by integrating these high-end medical industries in the core area with the beautiful natural scenery along Lingshan Mountain, Tongbo Mountain and the Xinjiang River, a core competitiveness with its own characteristics can be formed. The Shangrao (International) Stem Cell Regenerative Medicine Industry-University-Research Base project has been included in the "Top Ten Strategic Emerging Industries of Jiangxi Province".

The pilot zone will build a headquarters (medical, pharmaceutical, research and sales) economic zone, a cell detection, storage, preparation, research and application functional zone based on high-end biomedical technology, an international medical institution zone, and a new medicine and new product incubation zone. It will introduce 20 high-end medical institutions (including hospitals) in professional fields, 2 large health management and rehabilitation institutions, and 10 cutting-edge medical and pharmaceutical research institutions. Introduce 1 to 3 high-end elderly care and convalescence bases, build 1 characteristic tourist scenic area, introduce 6 environmentally friendly new drug factories, bring in 20 high-end beauty institutions, settle in 30 large pharmaceutical companies, and build a K12 school as a supporting facility, as well as a large community service functional area.
