KUWAIT CITY, July 16: Viajes Papiro
(Papiro Group), one of the leading travel companies in Spain, offers
both entertainment or tourism and treatment services. It provides
integrated tourism facilities inside and outside Spain under the banner,
“Tourism and Treatment for All”. Its strategy is to offer high-quality
services together with various options within the reach of all classes
of individuals. In a special interview with Al-Seyassah daily, Director
General of the travel institution Haitham Khattab revealed a package of
contracts with different bodies in the fields of tourism and health in
some Arab countries, including Kuwait, Egypt and Dubai; in addition to
its branches in a number of other countries.
Khattab disclosed the company contracted
with six subsidiaries of Wadi El Neel Company for Medical Services
(Lotus), thus, it functions as the medical consultant that offers
medical services to patients coming from Europe and the rest of world
for the treatment of Hepatitis C in the Arab Republic of Egypt. Based on
his long experience in the tourism sector in general and the projects
of his institution in a number of countries in the world, Khattab
expressed his surprise over the absence of direct flights from Kuwait to
any of the Spanish cities.
He called on Kuwait Airways Corporation
and Al-Jazeera Airways to open direct flights to and from Madrid in
order to pave way for new scopes of cooperation between the two
countries and to realize aspirations of the Kuwaitis who want to travel
to different Spanish cities, which are main destinations for Saudi and
UAE citizens as well as people from Europe and the two Americas.
Khattab discussed many issues concerning
recreational and therapeutic tourism (Tourncure), highlighting the
services that Papiro Group could offer to the State of Kuwait. He
confirmed the group enjoys great tourist viability, but at the same time
it needs more support from the government in the next stage considering
tourism has become one of the most important sources of income in many
countries, including Arab countries such as the UAE, Qatar, Egypt and
Bahrain.
He revealed the group has contracts with
about 70 percent of the Spanish hospitals which have a database of
27,000 of the best doctors with various specialties and who are fully
ready to receive Kuwaitis suffering from bones or eye problems or any
endemic and intractable diseases, in addition to the best centers for
hair transplant and cosmetic surgery, etc. He said there is an exclusive
agency for the institution through which it markets the medicine for
Hepatitis C virus for less than world the prices by 80 percent.
He added most of the citizens of Europe
and America resort to the group for treatment of malignant diseases due
to its reasonable fees — at cost price compared with the fees in other
institutions and countries.
