高齡化社會產生了大量的醫療照護需求與依賴,加上整合觀光與醫療的心身靈觀念形成,觀光醫療產業遂成為目前全球成長最快、最富生機的產業之一。 本研究採用質化研究,藉由搜尋整理各國發展觀光醫療的相關文獻暨實務做法,並藉由專家深度訪談,透過STP分析,歸納出台灣發展觀光醫療的4P行銷策略。研究目的有三:(1)台灣觀光醫療市場SWOT分析,藉以了解台灣相較於其他競爭者的利基與困境;(2)台灣觀光醫療的STP,以找出台灣的定位及商機;(3)台灣推動觀光醫療之行銷策略,探究在產品、價格、通路與推廣可採行的做法。 本研究將「觀光醫療」作最廣義的定調,將政府冀望推動的「國際醫療」,與民間強打的「旅遊醫療」,合併定義為「觀光醫療」。在特殊國際醫療上,首推項目為肝臟移植、顱顏重建、心血管手術、人工生殖、關節置換等五項;至於旅遊醫療則以雷射近視、健康檢查、整形美容、牙科、中醫五項選擇性醫療服務為主。 觀光醫療行銷4P策略如下: 一、產品策略:依長期治療、特色醫療、休閒服務與長住休養照護四類發展。 二、價格策略:以成本法、競爭法、品牌定價法為基準,參考顧客類型,訂出國際標準的區隔收費、顧客導向的透明價格與一次滿足的套裝收費等策略。 三、通路策略:分為醫療專業通路與非醫療專業通路。 四、推廣策略:包含從廣告宣傳、公共關係、銷售促銷與直效行銷來進行推廣。 在探究行銷策略後,本研究就三大方向提出具體而微的結論與建議。 第一,政策法規的推動:設立專門主管機關、授權地方、公私部門聯手合作、鬆綁法規、鼓勵通過國際認證、設立國外服務據點。 第二,醫療產業利基的發展:發展台灣具優勢項目、成功案例取經、異業結盟可擴大深度及廣度、分區發展以建立特色、感動服務、培養多方語言人才。 第三,相關業者的行銷:結合地方文化與特色、培育觀光醫療相關人才、研定短中長期目標、建立台灣觀光醫療品牌。 觀光醫療在台灣尚處於規劃與測試中,本研究則針對台灣發展觀光醫療的行銷策略,加以分析與建議,冀望提供各相關業界一些新的思考議題與決策參考。
