The authors examine the theoretical underpinnings of the Colombian medical tourism industry, define essential ideas, and provide logical connections between chapters to ensure the book’s coherence throughout. Each chapter’s importance to addressing the study question and achieving the goals is underlined, and the relationship between chapters is explicitly shown. Significantly, the authors use both the quantitative study of global medical tourism trends and the qualitative Delphi approach to provide a thorough grasp of the subject.
