In the rapidly evolving world of medical travel, health tourism facilitators must seek opportunities to expand their knowledge and distinguish both themselves and their businesses. The Certified Medical Travel Agent Certification (CMTA) offers a unique pathway for those aiming to thrive in this niche yet flourishing industry. We recently sat down with our founder, Gilliam Elliott Jr., a pioneer in the field, to address some of the most frequently asked questions about the CMTA certification. His insights provide valuable guidance for anyone considering taking their first steps into the medical tourism industry or looking to solidify their expertise.
Questions & Answers
1.) What advice would you give to someone thinking of starting a medical tourism company?
Conducting independent research can be beneficial, but based on what I’ve observed, the most successful medical tourism facilitators tend to choose a single, trusted source or company for all their informational and support needs. In contrast, numerous startup founders spend months or even years in the cycle of independent research, which often results in inaction and hinders them from reaching their objectives.
