Abstract

The article reflects the main problems and features of the development of medical tourism in Russia in the conditions of a pandemic. An attempt to assess the capacity of the medical tourism market in the world practice and to assess the share of Russia’s participation in it is shown. The high level of Russia’s potential in achieving a leading position among the leading states in the sphere of high-tech treatment and diagnostic and health-improving services was identified and assessed. The characteristic features of the development of the market for domestic and inbound tourism for medical purposes were identified. The authors determined the directions of the formation of inbound and domestic tourist flows in order to obtain high-quality and affordable medical care after the removal of restrictions, related to the prevention of coronavirus infection. Based on the review of information and analytical material, measures to improve the efficiency of the functioning of medical tourism industry facilities are proposed.
