Актуальность исследования обусловлена тем, что за последнее время индустрия медицинского туризма в Таиланде претерпела существенные качественные преобразования, а здравоохранение при этом выступает в качестве одного из основных секторов развития и роста экономики страны. В мировом масштабе сфера медицинского туризма Таиланда демонстрирует значительный рост рыночной стоимости, превышающей среднемировые показатели, страна удерживает позицию в пятерке наиболее привлекательных направлений для медицинских путешествий.</p><p>Превращение Таиланда в одного из ключевых лидеров отрасли обусловлено сочетанием высокопрофессиональных качественных медицинских услуг и относительно низкой стоимости медицинских услуг, а также амбициозными государственными инициативами, которые позиционируют Таиланд как международный «хаб» для развития сферы здравоохранения и туризма. В целом существует значительный потенциал для расширения границ рынка. В частности, российские туристы представляют собой крупный сформировавшийся сегмент туристической индустрии Таиланда.</p></sec><sec><title>Цель</title><p>Цель. Цель исследования – выявление ключевых драйверов развития медицинского туризма Таиланда за последние годы для корректировки национальной стратегии развития медицинского туризма и экспорта медицинских услуг, которые реализуются в Российской Федерации в рамках федерального проекта «Развитие экспорта медицинских услуг» в составе национального проекта «Здравоохранение» на основе Указа Президента РФ В.В. Путина № 204 от 07.05.2018.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты и заключение</title><p>Результаты и заключение. Несмотря на относительно молодой возраст современного рынка международного медицинского туризма, выход на него как отдельно взятой медицинской организации, так и государству в целом сопряжен с преодолением довольно высокого порога входа, требующего значительных правовых, инфраструктурных, научно-образовательных преобразований, а также обеспечения безопасности медицинского туризма на разных уровнях: от национального до муниципального и внутрибольничного. По этой причине научный интерес обращен к тем государствам-участникам международного медицинского туризма, которые добились значительных достижений в этой сфере. Ярким примером отраслевого успеха является Королевство Таиланд как ведущая дестинация для медицинских туристов из стран Юго-Восточной Азии. В созданную и поддерживаемую правительством страны экосистему медицинского и оздоровительного туризма вошли такие акторы, как врачи, пациенты, медицинские организации, международные сертификационные компании, ассистансы и агентства медицинского туризма. Создание условий для естественного развития всех участников рынка и положило начало большому международному успеху Таиланда как мировой медицинской дестинации в восточном полушарии.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Introduction</title><p>Introduction. Recently, the medical tourism industry in Thailand has undergone significant qualitative transformations, with the healthcare sector as the main driver of the development and growth of the country's economy. On a global scale, medical tourism in Thailand demonstrates a significant increase in market value that exceeds the global average, ranking in the top five of the most attractive medical tourism destinations.</p><p>A combination of medical services provided by highly qualified specialists, lowcost treatment, as well as ambitious government initiatives allowed Thailand to become one of the industry leaders and a significant hub for healthcare and tourism development. In general, there is a significant potential for market expansion. In particular, Russian tourists are largely represented in Thailand’s tourism market.</p></sec><sec><title>Purpose</title><p>Purpose. The purpose of the study was to identify the key drivers of medical tourism in Thailand that may help to adjust Russian national strategy to the development of medical tourism and the export of medical services within the framework of the Federal Project ”Export of Medical Services” as part of the National Project “Healthcare” upon the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 204 dated May 7th, 2018.</p></sec><sec><title>Results and conclusion</title><p>Results and conclusion. Despite the fact that modern international medical tourism is relatively new, the entry into the market of both a separate medical organization and a governmental one is associated with a high threshold of entry requiring significant legal, infrastructural, scientific, and educational transformations, as well as ensuring the safety of medical tourism services at different levels, from national to municipal and hospital. Thus, the global scientific society is interested in the experiences of the countries that have achieved significant results in the international medical tourism market. Thailand is a striking example of a leading destination for medical tourists from Southeast Asia. The ecosystem of medical and wellness tourism created and supported by the government includes doctors, patients, medical organizations, international certification companies, assistance agencies, and medical tourism agencies. The creation of appropriate conditions for the essential development of all market participants allowed Thailand to begin its journey as a global medical destination in the Eastern Hemisphere.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>медицинский туризм</kwd><kwd>экспорт медицинских услуг</kwd><kwd>медицинский турист</kwd><kwd>оздоровительный туризм</kwd><kwd>здравоохранение Таиланда</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>medical tourism</kwd><kwd>export of health services</kwd><kwd>medical tourist</kwd><kwd>wellness and spa tourism</kwd><kwd>health-care in Thailand</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Turner R, Jus N.
