The Sustainable Medical Tourism Innovation Association (SMTIA) is promoting Thailand as a global hub for sustainable medical and wellness tourism, connecting the medical, tourism, business, and local communities in a comprehensive manner.

Dr. Thaweesak Netwong, President of the Association, revealed that the Association is not only a central organization promoting medical tourism, but also a force for new collaboration that will promote sustainable healthcare for Thais and tourists worldwide, from prevention, rehabilitation, to investing in health for the future. The Association is ready to invite entrepreneurs to be part of this change.

The Association is open to members and partners who wish to participate as a key mechanism in transforming the country into a sustainable "Global Wellness Destination" at the business, community, and national policy levels.

"Today is an opportunity for Thailand to transform from a tourist destination into a world-class wellness city," said Dr. Thaweesak.

The establishment of the Association focuses on creating a "Global Wellness Destination" by integrating medical knowledge, technology, healthcare innovation, and Thai culture. We are ready to support clinic operators, hospitals, hotels, resorts, tour operators, and public and private organizations to play a collaborative role as "partners to elevate world-class medical and wellness tourism."

SMTIA's unique and distinctive strengths include its world-class medical resources and personnel, its holistic healthcare culture (Thai traditional medicine and integrative medicine), its globally recognized tourism destination, and its potential for investment in health innovation and wellness real estate.

We aim to achieve both short-term and long-term goals by establishing Longevity Club centers in every province to create a nationwide health network, attracting high-quality tourists from around the world to long-term health and rehabilitation programs, and developing platforms such as WellTrip to connect health and tourism services.
