The 6th Edition of the European Health Tourism Industry Summit is behind us. This prestigious event took place in the European Parliament in Brussels, on Thursday 8 December.
Health as the new currency as the leading theme, the event brought together the most important European and world tourism institutions (EP, UNWTO, WTTC, ETC, ESPA, EHTA, UEHP), the best health tourism experts and new partners from around the world.
MEP István Ujhelyi and his team hosted the event in European Parliament and offered us tremendous support. Unique opportunity to discuss the most relevant health tourism topics with MEPs, old and new partners, colleagues and friends.
Many thanks to all the speakers, partners and participants. Thank you for bringing us all closer to achieving common goals and connecting in developing the future of health tourism. Only by sharing knowledge, experiences and ideas we can grow and achieve our goals.
