Mexico earned $1.44 billion from international tourism in January, up 17.4 percent from
the same month in 2013, when the figure came in at $1.22 billion,
the Tourism Secretariat said.
According to the Global Retirement Index 2014 published by International Living.com,
Mexico's affordable and top-notch health care is ranked higher than that of countries like
Spain, Italy, New Zealand or Brazil.

Alvarado, chief executive officer of La Moreleja, a residential development in San Luis Potosí,
a colonial city in northern Mexico that also sports Wal-Mart, Home Depot and many other
businesses familiar to Americans.

There are already an estimated 1.2 million retired Americans and Canadians in Mexico who --
like their millions of compatriots back home -- will need a greater level of care at an
affordable price. www.miamiherald.com
Javier Godínez-Villegas, president of the Mexican Association of Retirement Communities,
thinks there are up to 50 Mexican cities and towns that are ideal for assisted-living facilities
aimed at the U.S. and Canadian markets. There are many developers who are willing now to
build these types of facilities, and more are coming,” he said. http://amarcanada.ca/home/
With the right facilities in place, Mexico could give American retirees a better quality of life at
a better price than they could find in the United States," says Flavio Olivieri, a member of
Tijuana's Economic Development Council, which is seeking funding from Mexico's federal
government to build more retirement homes. "We think this could be a very good business
as these baby boomers reach retirement age," he says.

9. Americans, particularly those living near the Mexican border, now routinely
cross to Mexico for medical care. Popular specialties include dentistry and plastic
surgery. Mexican dentists often charge one-fifth to one-fourth of US prices.
Many who travel to Mexico for care report that they are satisfied. According to a
report commissioned by Families U.S.A., a Washington advocacy group for
health-care issues, "About 90 percent felt the care they had received in Mexico
had been good or excellent. Only 80 percent rated the care they had received in
the United States as good or excellent".
Tijuana has proven to be a convenient center for 'medical tourism'. Due to its
strategic geographic location, patients from California and much of the west
coast have turned to Tijuana for elective procedures as well as for others such as
chemotherapy, among others. According to the San Diego Union Tribune, about
1 million Californians go to Mexico for healthcare, and most of these patients go
to Tijuana. Many of these patients seek weight loss, and plastic surgery, in
addition to alternative cancer treatments. According to the Secretary of Tourism
of Baja California, in 2009, close to 8 million people went to Tijuana for some
type of healthcare.
In addition to dental and plastic surgery, Mexican hospitals are popular for
bariatric surgery for weight loss.
