Medical wellness

It has for over a decade been increasingly evident that wellness tourism and medical tourism,  the two main branches of health tourism go a long way towards each other. This fact can be explained with two reasons. On the one hand there is a growing number of developments which incorporate wellness services in medical establishments, and where medical treatments and wellness services complement each other. On the other hand as it was stated before, these days it is an important market requirement that - apart from being pleasurable pastime activities,- wellness services offer long-term, scientifically approved health programmes.

As a result of all the above factors a new health tourism product appeared on the market, the so-called medical wellness, an area, which combines the benefits of both wellness- and medical tourism.  It is the combination of services, which are provided in wellness-centres by physicians and other trained medical staff and where, after assessing the patients’ status  personalized treatments are selected and offered for them.
