South Korea's Clinics Are Drawing Medical Tourists

More visitors to South Korea are adding a clinic visit to their travel plans. Some people go for skin care, health checks or cosmetic services. They may also visit restaurants, shops and famous places during the same trip.

South Korea has many clinics, especially in Seoul. Some have staff who can help international visitors in different languages. Online videos and social media have also made more people curious about Korean beauty and health services.

A clinic visit is still medical care, not only tourism. Visitors should check a clinic carefully, ask questions and understand the care they may need after they travel home.
