Lots of ideas on this one... I've been focused on this consumer awareness objective for quite some time, and have often feel like I'm all by myself. I've pretty well determined that it will only happen when we can get the Travel & Tourism industry involved. Those 10,000 plus USA local level professional agents would love to become part of this food chain, and once in place, can accomplish more consumer awareness than we could ever afford, PLUS, they become the marketing and distributionb channel to handle the volume that we should be seeing. All they want is a fair share of the travel side revenues, and MOST IMPORTANT - complete legal distance / separation from the medical process.
That CAN be accomplished, but it takes re-thinking the facilitator side in order to accomplish their needs.
These are some big companies with deep pockets(the one's I've been speaking with), and they simply can not manage the risk that our current system imposes. There IS a way however...
That level of marketing and distribution will not completely selve customer awareness, but it's a great starting point. Promoting and selling Travel is what they do... Medical Tourism IS a componant of travel and tourism.
