Wellness Travels

What Wellness Travels does

Wellness Travels is a medical tourism facilitator headquartered in Kaunas, Lithuania, founded in 2012 and operating as a private intermediary (legally MB Wellness Travels / UAB Wellness Travels). The company coordinates surgical procedures for international patients at its core partner clinic, Gijos Klinikos — a Lithuanian medical institution with 80 years of orthopaedic history and 50+ years of surgical excellence. Wellness Travels handles the full patient journey: pre-trip online consultation, travel logistics (flights, airport transfers, hotel, in-country driver), clinic coordination, post-operative aftercare, and 24/7 personal travel manager support. The company employs 1–10 people and targets patients from the UK, Ireland, Scandinavia (Sweden, Norway, Denmark), the Netherlands, and recently Canada.

The service catalog spans five clinical verticals: plastic surgery (tummy tuck, breast augmentation/reduction/lift, liposuction, mommy makeover, facelift, rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, otoplasty, gynecomastia, buttock lift), orthopaedic surgery (hip and knee replacement including robotic Velys-assisted knee surgery), bariatric surgery (gastric sleeve, bypass, ESG, gastric band, gastric balloon, gastric plication), abdominal surgery (giant ventral hernia repair with bikini-line incision), and urology (penile implant surgery). Pricing is published as all-inclusive, transparent, fixed-fee packages ranging from €1,095 (otoplasty/upper blepharoplasty) to €5,900 (gastric sleeve), with malpractice insurance of up to €50,000 bundled in. Packages are eligible for reimbursement through at least ten international insurers including BUPA, Cigna, Allianz, AXA-PPP, Aetna, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, IMG, MetLife, MSH International, and US TRICARE.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market: a 5-language website (English, Swedish, Norwegian, Dutch, Danish) drives organic inbound, with supplementary acquisition through YouTube patient testimonial videos, Trustpilot reviews, and a private Facebook patient community (~2,100+ members). Sales is high-touch — patients are assigned personal travel managers (named individuals include Karolis Šulcas, Tomas Tamaliūnas, Paulius, and Agnė Metrikė as Medical Project Coordinator) who guide each patient from initial quote to recovery. Wellness Travels holds no external institutional funding, has no parent company, and reports no revenue in publicly available data. The company is differentiated primarily by Lithuanian cost arbitrage (procedures priced 50–70% below UK/Western Europe), CO2-neutral medical travel positioning (first in Europe), and the institutional credibility of its partner clinic.

Regional players

• Clinic Center: Istanbul-based medical tourism facilitator selling package plastic surgery, bariatric, and dental procedures to European patients; direct competitor for the same UK/IE patient flow Wellness Travels targets, with a different (Turkey) supplier geography.

Broad incumbents

• Medipol Health Group: Large Turkish hospital group with dedicated international patient services and bundled medical-tourism packages; competes for the same Western European patient demand for bariatric, orthopedic, and cosmetic surgery from a lower-cost destination.
• WhatClinic: Established clinic-comparison platform operating across medical, dental, and cosmetic categories globally; comparable inbound lead-generation layer for clinics treating foreign patients, but serves many specialties and is not a concierge facilitator.

Direct peers

• Qunomedical: Berlin-based medical tourism facilitator matching patients to vetted clinics for cosmetic, dental, bariatric, and orthopedic procedures; comparable inbound-facilitator business model with personal case managers and Western European source markets.
• Health-Tourism.com: Medical tourism directory and facilitator connecting international patients to clinics; comparable digital channel and intermediary function for inbound medical travel, though broader multi-clinic marketplace rather than single-clinic partnership.
• MyMediTravel: Medical tourism comparison and booking platform focused on cosmetic, dental, and bariatric procedures in Asia and Eastern Europe; comparable as an aggregator/facilitator targeting cost-driven patients from Western source markets.
• PlacidWay: US-based medical tourism platform offering package-based cross-border treatment in dozens of countries; comparable facilitator model that intermediates between international patients and partner clinics, with similar multi-language marketing and concierge support.
• Bookimed: Largest global medical tourism marketplace connecting patients to clinics across dozens of countries; directly comparable as a cross-border facilitator selling procedure packages online, though with broader geographic scope and a marketplace (multi-clinic) model.
