DENPASAR (Bloomberg): Bali will seek to attract world-class hospitals to the tropical island, adding medical treatment to its roster of offerings that already include white sand beaches and yoga retreats.

Indonesia designated a 41-hectare area in Sanur -- a quiet coastal town on the eastern coast -- as a special economic zone for health tourism, according to a Nov 1 regulation. That means companies setting up in the area could get fiscal and non-fiscal incentives.
