Medical and health tourism features strongly at ITB Berlin 2024

This is the first time the Croatian Chamber of Commerce is represented in the Medical Tourism segment, and the first time Slovenia is appearing as a supporting partner and exhibitor in the Medical & Health Pavilion in Hall 3.1.
Among the partners who regularly attend are the long-standing Premium partner Barcelona Medical Destination, together with other exhibitors including FIT Reisen, the Gremi Klinik from Albania, HTI – Health Tourism Industry and ESPA – European Spas Association.
It should also be noted that the EHTTA – European Historic Thermal Towns Association – is expanding its participation with numerous co-exhibitors and featuring an attractive events area for visitors. In addition to a thermal water tasting session, the association is hosting a Spa Cinema in order to attract visitors.
