Making Babies Is the New Health Travel Trend
Making babies on vacation is quickly becoming one of the newest health travel trends. From Western ski resorts to sun drenched hotels in the Caribbean, couples are finding no shortage of vacation packages designed with conception in mind. With rising costs a major problem in health care, the cost of spending a vacation at a luxury resort that offers a smorgasbord of conception-related activities may still be lower than a visit to a fertility clinic. Besides, many of the conception-enhancing activities at these resorts are designed by medical specialists, and therefore, may be covered by medical travel insurance.
Health Travel Vacations for Improved Intimacy
Hotels, resorts, and cruise ships are battling the fact of rising costs a major problem in health care and get these sex experts and doctors to conduct specialized programs that promise to assist couples in improving their intimacy. Dr. Jason James, an obstetrician in Miami, explains that the stress of hectic lifestyles is “underestimated.” He believes that today’s health travel vacations offer these couples “one of the most easy, therapeutic interventions” for enabling conception. Being covered by medical travel insurance would be an added bonus.
“Procreation Vacations” a Part of Health Travel
With rising costs being such a major problem in health care, many may find the right combination of relaxation, food, education, and romance during health travel a less expensive and more interesting way to start a family than multiple visits to a fertility clinic. This is especially true if such excursions are covered by medical travel insurance. A three-night “Procreation Vacation,” for example, on Lucaya Grand Bahama Island begins at $1,893. With stress being tagged as an inhibitor to conception, Dr. Lana Holstein, a sex expert at the Miraval Resort in Arizona, recommends health travel for would-be parents. “It’s the relaxation factor. It’s that all the other stressors in life are gone,” she says.
