"Booming
Business for Boomers, Vacation & Second Homes"
Did you know?
There are over 75 million baby
boomers in the U.S. alone?
They control half of the
U.S. wealth?
One every 8 seconds is
retiring and now thinking of where, what, how and who to go and do
in this next stage of their lives, retirement!
With their frame of mind that
"Life begins after retirement", they demand a lifestyle and
needs the solutions and as many options!
One of the
highlight of AIREEC 2008 is "MEDICAL TOURISM".
An interesting topic.
Various countries offering
Medical Tourism will be at AIREEC to showcase some of the most elite
packages they have from Cosmetic to Prosthetics..
Why are they
targeting the American market?
Health
Travel is a $100 billion opportunity?
48 million Americans has no
insurance?
40 million are under insured?
130 million
without dental insurance?
2.2 million Americans filed for
bankruptcy due to medical bills? (77% had medical insurance) US
Health Care costs 12% of GDP (other developed countries averages
6%)
Tourism is very much
linked to the "Global Aging" tsunami.
With the baby boomers retiring,
they have more time to travel distant places.
We see emerging markets capturing
a big slice of this "18 year Travel Boom".
As it is said, it usually takes a
tourist 3-4 months to decide where to take his next vacation but
it takes at least 4-5 visits before one decides to buy a
property.
In other words, attract them as
tourist first!
