Is there a difference between spa and wellness tourism?
In fact, although they involve many general procedures and programs and use the healing power of water, there is a difference between spa and balneology.
Balneotherapy is for people who have specific, most often chronic health problems. It includes bathing in natural mineral springs, the waters of which are suitable for the treatment of specific diseases, as well as the application of various healing procedures in SPA centers that use thermal mineral waters.
Spa and wellness tourism is aimed primarily at people who do not suffer from specific diseases, but who need to relax, eliminate accumulated stress and enjoy relaxing health and appearance relaxing therapies.
What components does health tourism include?
To say that healthy tourism includes only spa treatments would be wrong. To say that it includes only balneotherapy or only wellness will be wrong again.
The truth is, health tourism is a combination of:
● SPA procedures
● Cosmetic treatments
● Massages
● Hydromassage therapies
● Healthy eating
● Sports activities
● Rehabilitation programs
● Hydrotherapy with mineral water
