The International Medical Travel Journal was established in 2007 with a focus on medical tourism. It runs a biweekly newsletter.[1] Keith Pollard is the Editor in Chief and features as a speaker at medical tourism conferences.[2] He is also executive chairman of the health care research firm LaingBuisson International,[3] and is featured at the Medical Travel Summits organised by LaingBuisson International. The conference in Athens in May 2018 was organised in conjunction with Elitour, the Greek Medical Tourism Council.[4]

It runs annual Medical Travel Awards. Mahathir Mohamad, Prime Minister of Malaysia cited them in 2018 among the "global accolades" National Heart Institute had received.[5] Subsequently Malaysia was awarded "Destination of the Year" by the journal in 2020.[6]
