The long-cherished medical tourism project for Cancún began to crystallize during this month of October with a project called “Health City” on the grounds of Grupo Palace that have already begun development by third-party investors.
Jabib Chapur, Vice-President of Food and Beverage of the Grupo Palace hotel chain, announced that the 1st hotel of the City Exprés chain inauguratedin October, while the 2nd lodging center of the NH Hotels firm is also in the final phase of construction.
“It is a complex where the arrival of large firms of private hospitals and specialized services for retirees form the U.S.A., Canada and Europe is expected”, Jabib Chapur said.
It is built in the territory reserve of the Palace chain, just 10 minutes away from the Cancun airport. In addition to medical services, a Dolphin Discovery dolphinarium is already in process, with an investment of US $3 million.
The manager of the Palace chain said that the project will be developed almost entirely by third-party investors, but on land owned by Grupo Palace. Although there will be hotels and specialized lodging services, most of these establishments will be operated by other companies and not by Grupo Palace.
Miguel Ángel Lemus, Vice-President of the Business Coordinating Council and real estate entrepreneur, said that it is a long-term project, since in addition to specialized clinics, the complex will feature shopping centers, convention centers, spas, housing areas, luxury condominiums, office buildings, entertainment areas, as well as spaces for scientific research.
Since 2014, the construction of a similar project called Wisdoms Gardens was planned, promoted by the Medical Tourism Association of Quintana Roo, which involved the construction of six hospitals in the medium term: Pediatrics, Wellness & Antiaging, Orthopedic, Stem Cell Research Center, Oncology and Dental Clinic.
In addition, it would have research and entertainment centers, shopping areas, restaurants, botanical gardens, meditation areas, art galleries, sports clubs, aquatic centers and artificial lakes.
