These are the advantages offered by the innovative European Health Destination® concept:
Becoming more visible as a European Health Destination across Europe
It’s a law of nature: more visibility leads to more guests. More guests mean more turnover and prosperity in the place or region. This is what the distinctive and easily understandable label Best “European Health Destination” is intended to serve, in which we group together all places and predestined destinations that meet our criteria for this. This enables a strong signal effect on markets all over Europe, and that in connection with a strong health tourism profile.
In this way, you tap into a potential of over 200 million possible guests, both nationally and internationally. As a group, we market ourselves at trade fairs, road shows, on the Internet, in networks, etc., and inspire each other with the most effective ideas and programs to become ever more successful together.

Professional accompaniment by proven specialists
We accompany you on your way to becoming a top European destination with a focus on health and nature. For this purpose, a network of experts is available, among others from the fields of health and medicine, tourism, branding, corporate development and nature/environment. We analyze the actual situation, find the real “natural treasures” and health potentials, develop a tailor-made tourism concept together with you and give your location the unmistakable image of a strong brand. In doing so, we like to work together with a pool of competent service providers, locally, nationally and internationally. And we see ourselves more as mentors who set the important impulses, but are happy to leave the implementation in the hands of the destinations’ expert and trusted cooperation partners.
