Cora Laureano:

Hi Ludwig, you are a guest of the Philippine Department of Tourism. How do you like the event so far?

Ludwig Huber:

Briliant event! I have made many contacts. Everybody who works in the medical service business is present. I am impressed by the professional approach of the established medical clinics and doctors.

Cora Laureano:

In which areas are you going to work?

Ludwig Huber:

We will essentially concentrate on the fields of cosmetic services and wellness. I have found excellent partners that fully meet high western standards in modern plastic surgery and other cosmetic applications in terms of quality.

Cora Laureano:

What is the advantage of medical tourism for tourists from Europe?

Ludwig Huber:

The prices are fantastic, even in the upper class clinics of our partners. That enables us not only to provide our clients with “Beauty” but with „Beauty Made in Paradise“. Each of our customers gets a tropical adventure according to his interests, be it diving and surfing or beach and night life or simply a quiet family holiday. The Philippine tropical paradise with its more than 7000 islands has something to offer for everybody and our clients get that for a price that is equal to or even less than what they’d pay for the treatment alone in Europe. And that is what we call “Beauty Made in Paradise“.

Cora Laureano:

How do you offer your services?

Ludwig Huber:

We offer a full scale service in our travel packages. We organize the treatments with the clinics and the trips to our customers’ individually chosen destinations. We pick up our customers at the airport and take them to their hotel and to the clinics. Additionally we provide them with extra tour guides and more services if desired. Our customers will enjoy their stay in the Philippines.

Cora Laureano:

And your partners in the medical field are 100% dependable?

Ludwig Huber:

We work exclusively with the best, the market leaders. They have been providing their services in this sector for years, mostly for American, Korean and Australian patients. There are several hundreds of them coming to our partners every month. Before any surgery, the patients are checked if they can undergo the desired treatment. There are no problems. The doctors work professionally and patient-friendly. I enjoyed the results of my Obagi Blue Peel and Botox treatments.

Cora Laureano:

What kind of treatments have people done there?

Ludwig Huber:

Anything in the field of cosmetic services starting with face lifts, liposuction, breast augmentation, laser treatments and peels etc. That includes also hair transplants and cosmetic dentistry. Or it could just simply be a wellness holiday. We love to advise our customers if they need any more detailed information on this.

Cora Laureano:

Why do you take your customers to the Philippines?

Ludwig Huber:

The Philippines are largely unknown in Europe, a paradise with more than 7000 islands and the most beautiful beaches in Asia. The local people are very friendly and open-minded, most of them are fluent in English. Furthermore it’s a Christian country which adds to the comfort level tourists may perceive. Many Americans and more and more Europeans decide to retire in the Philippines. They have found their personal paradise here.

Cora Laureano:

Ludwig, many thanks. I wish you many more contacts and good conversations during this event on medical tourism.

Ludwig Huber:

Thank you, Cora!
