Ayurveda is one sector where Kerala achieved a prominent position.Several tourists from abroad made use of this stream of treatment while holidaying in Kerala.At the same time it has to be noted that the number of tourists who came to Kerala with the sole aim of having Ayurvedic treatments is very less.But the number of tourists coming to Kerala for modern treatment is over on the rise.
Dental clinics in Kerala are also making use of this boom.Several dental hospitals have come up with packages and promotional activities to attract foreign patients and several tourists from various parts of the world are making use of the dental fecilities here.
When the medical tourism sector in Kerala is triumphing,it has to be observed on the backdrop of Ayurvedic treatments that had a sudden boom during the last decade.To make easy money several fake Ayurvedic hospitals and massage parlours mushroomed in the state that gave ill fame to the whole sector.
