To promote health tourism as the unique selling point of Europe, with the know-how heritage and as sustainable destination with the special added value of natural remedies. Investment in promotion and education of citizens with improved visibility for European citizens and in international markets 

Effective medicine also means reducing the side effects and learning a healthy lifestyle in a healthy, sustainable location whose infrastructure has been developed over centuries for health purposes. In spa cities and health resorts, medical spas with that offer treatment with natural resources for current social and chronic diseases are producing good results and in a sustainable way. The local natural healing resources (natural healing water, peloids, gases, climatic conditions) have always been subject to scientific research. 
 

With up to date programs for corporate health, primary prevention, after care by cancer, treating patients with chronic disease and improving the quality of life and the mobility of senior generations, certified medical spas guarantee a long-lasting result and also a lower cost for health insurance. Balneology is a unique knowledge and tradition in Europe which has to be recognized and supported better by EU activities.
