PROJECTS
PROJECT 1: MEDICAL TOURISM, HEALTH, WELLNESS & THIRD AGE
INTRODUCTION
Together we can work on medical tourism technical assistance assignments in the spheres of health tourism, thermal waters, health tourism administration, urban and regional planning, and professional capacity development.
This is driven by the following concerns:
1-Tourism benefits local residents as it leads to improved infrastructure and services, as well as the creation of numerous employment opportunities in the host countries.
2-Health and wellness tourism can be developed in any place that has licensed practitioners and health facilities proximate to an international airport and guest accommodations.
3-Health and wellness tourism is a big industry based on many small and medium businesses, individual solopreneurs, and foreign investment.
4-Funding for this nascent industry are limited and should be spent conservatively until there is sustainable return on investment.
5-There are, however, many drawbacks and negative side effects generated by the health and wellness tourism industry which must be mitigated to the extent possible.
6-Tourism is a big industry based on many small businesses.
7-Health and wellness tourism can be a powerful positive force for economic development, but can sometimes give rise to several drawbacks.
8-Tourism has changed as an idea, with emerging different/new types of tourism, with a differentiation at the needs of the tourists.
9-People and Greece as country should promote their cultural heritage and tradition in order to promote wellness and to help to visitors and locals alike to live better lives.
10-Entrepreneurship and tourism are two highly-interconnected fiscal elements.
11-Health and wellness tourism development seems new not only to local companies and local communities but to the governmental agencies as well.
12-The outlook for the medical travel and health and wellness tourism industry worldwide looks promising as countries with great opportunities for development penetrate the market.

Structuring an M&A Deal
One of the most intricate steps in the M&A process is structuring the deal effectively. Numerous factors need consideration, including antitrust laws, securities regulation, corporate law, rival bidders, taxes, accounting issues, contracts, market conditions, forms of financing, and specific negotiation points within the M&A deal itself. Key documents in this process include the Term Sheet (for fundraising) and a Letter of Intent (LOI).
A typical 10-step M&A deal process involves:
-
Develop an acquisition strategy: Define the rationale behind making acquisitions and the desired outcomes.
-
Set the M&A criteria: Establish specific criteria such as company value, industry, country, revenue, margins, growth, and employees.
-
Search for acquisition targets: Utilize the criteria to filter opportunities from various sources like inbound interest, Capital IQ, Bloomberg, or through bankers.
-
Begin acquisition planning: Initiate discussions with selected companies meeting the criteria and engage in dialogue with management.
-
Perform valuation analysis: Analyze detailed financial information provided by the target company to determine its value.
-
Negotiation: Make offers and engage in negotiations to reach an agreement on terms.
-
M&A due diligence: Conduct due diligence to verify the accuracy of information provided by the target company.
-
Purchase and sale contracts: Finalize the purchase and sale agreement (share purchase or asset purchase) after successful due diligence.
-
Financing strategy for the acquisition: Secure financing, finalizing details after the deal is signed but before closing.
-
Closing and integration of the acquisition: Officially close the transaction, initiate integration processes, and commence the post-merger integration journey.
