There is Romance Travel, Wedding Tourism and
Procreation Vacations...so why not Birth Tourism? But, it's probably not what you think.
The first three niches are about doing something cool in a cool place. Birth Tourism is about securing rights and freedoms for the newborn child. American rights and freedoms, to be exact.
The number of foreign mothers that are coming to America to give birth is on the rise. Due, in large part, to the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that grants the full rights of citizenship to anyone born on American soil, it's a pretty smart play for any mother to make.
According to a story on eTurboNews, "for those with the means to pay, it's a small price to give a child
the full benefits of U.S. citizenship, including the ability to travel
freely to and from the United States, easy access to a U.S. education
and a chance to start a life here."
Think about it. No visa hassles, "free" health care and the ability for the child to one day sponsor the immigration of their entire family to become permanent Americans.
I'm pretty sure that's not what the sponsors of the 14th Amendment had in mind back in post-Civil War America.
And, good luck maximizing this niche on your destination website. I'm fairly certain the backlash you'll receive isn't gonna be worth it.
