Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur Hotel has become the
first hotel in Malaysia to be certified a “Medi-Secure-Safe Hotel” by medical
tourism resource Ticadoc, part of efforts by the hotel to attract more wellness
and healthcare visitors.
Frank Beck, managing director of Sheraton Imperial
Kuala Lumpur Hotel, said: “Our participation with Ticadoc is part of a strategy
to expand market reach. It is a platform that opens up opportunities, which
does not only translate into business but also in hospitality service offerings
targeted at wellness and healthcare travellers.”
“Our platform is to provide medical-stay travellers
with assurance, using us as a tool to assess (if their) choice of stay is in
accordance to strict medical requirements,” Richard Stevens, executive chairman
of Ticadoc said.
To get certified, the hotel had to pass a series of
internal and external audit, with a comprehensive list of safety and security
compliance to fulfil, according to a statement from the hotel.
Ticadoc.com is a
resource that wellness and medical travellers use to research and access
information, feedback and ratings. Its Medi-Secure-Safe certification allows
potential guests to understand the medical, security and safety capabilities of
hotels in which they are considering for accommodation.
In a bid to reach out to medical tourists, a new
target segment, Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur Hotel also recently partnered
Prince Court Medical Centre in Kuala Lumpur to launch its ‘Healthcation’
package.
The package includes a one night’s stay at the
hotel’s deluxe room with breakfast for two plus health screening, cardiological
examination and laboratory test for one person at Prince Court Medical Centre.
