The European Spa and Balneology Congress was held in Karlovy Vary

The European Spa and Balneology Congress was held in Karlovy Vary, where the latest trends and up-to-date data from scientific research were presented.
This year's edition focused on the theme "European Spas – A Path to a Healthy Life," and the Institute of Spa and Balneology was one of the main co-organizers of this prestigious event. The congress also featured the presentation of the ESPA Innovation Awards for new, more effective practices enhancing the quality of spa resorts, as well as the ESPA SPA-CE B2B trade fair focused on top-tier spa and wellness tourism, with participation from more than 15 countries.
It was a great honor for us to be part of this significant event. Thank you!
