G. Size of the Health and Wellness Industry 55According to the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB), health and wellness tourism“refers to the activities of persons traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment fornot more than one consecutive year for health and wellness purposes not related to the exercise of anactivity remunerated from within the place visited” (Virola and Polistico, 2007). On the basis of thisdefinition, the Virola and Polistico (2007) calculated the key indicators of the entities involved in medicaltourism for the years 1999, 2001, 2003, and 2005. This study updated the same data for 2006 and 2009.Readers are warned that the data presented here covers domestic and tourist-oriented servicesin the health and wellness industry. It was not possible to disaggregate data pertaining only to medicaltourism as it would require special runs of the establishment survey of the National Statistics Office.Despite this shortcoming, the gross data still provide indicative figures of the industry.Table 15 shows the revenue data of the industry. Except for the dip in 2006, it has grown apace,becoming a PHP 80 billion industry in 2009, twice its size a decade ago. The industry is dominated by themedical sector (hospitals and medical and dental practices), accounting for 84 percent of total revenuesin 2009.Table 15.

Revenues have consistentlybeen above costs, indicating the health of the industry (Table 17).Table 16. Cost Data of Selected Health and Wellness Activities in the Philippines, in PHP Billion, 1999to 2009YearHospitalActivities andSocial WorkActivitiesOther ServiceActivitiesAll ActivitiesPercentGrowth55 The data presented in this section is inclusive of domestic and tourist-oriented services. The two cannot bedisaggregated during the tight deadline of this study as it would require special runs of the establishment surveys,from the 3-digit PSIC to the more disaggregated 5-digit PSIC data.33
