520 $a Results revealed that international medical tourist motivation (attraction and opportunity) positively influence the perceived medical image. The perceived medical image also positively influence perceived quality on both medical staff and supporting services. Furthermore, medical staff quality also positively influences the perceived value and overall satisfaction of international medical tourists. Finally, the perceived value and overall satisfaction also positively influence the behavioral intention by word of mouth recommendation, repeat visit, and willingness to pay more. This study further found the moderating effect of frequent visit on perceived quality of and perceived value. Moreover, the results indicated that international medical tourists were significant difference on their motivational behavior and perception. This study suggested that the corporation between hospitals and government should be implemented in order to be successful as medical tourism destination.
