Quote Your Rate is a unique feature that enables customers to quote their preferred rate directly with the service provider. A gap exists in customer expectations about rates when it comes to the medical value travel sector. This results in the loss of many potential business opportunities. 

The Quote Your Rate feature can plug this gap effectively. Onefinerate.com is an online hotel marketplace with a Quote Your Rate feature available in it. Here the rate quoted by the customer is passed on to the hotel. In the event of a rejection, a counteroffer may be placed. The customers also can revise their quotes. 

Ravish Swarup, founder, says the response has been overwhelming. "We intend to introduce dedicated mini-microsite for niche categories like wellness resorts in the coming days," he says. 

As of now, the quotation is a primary concern for a medical tourist. There is no space for prospective medical value travelers to negotiate a price suited to their budget while deciding on a destination. 

Providing an interface where the person can negotiate a price package with a service provider will enable industry leaders to promote their unique selling points while allowing the customer to get maximum value for their money. 

Needless to say, this will take India's medical tourism sector, which is renowned for providing world-class health care at low costs, to the next level. Entry of more players into the field can hype up India's healthcare sector more than a paid ad could ever do.
