It is my pleasure to invite you to the 16th edition of the Spa and Wellness Congress organized by OPTBR - the Romanian Organization of Spa Tourism in partnership with despreSpa.ro.
This is our first Congress after 2019, during which time the Spa market has grown enormously. As we discussed in the first months of 2020, the pandemic has brought many new clients for dry treatments, and in parallel, the market has also grown in terms of quality.
I would like to congratulate all of you, because everyone, in their own Spa, has contributed to this growth!
It's time for us all to meet again, to close ranks, exchange ideas and evolve further.
The Congress will take place from October 4-6 in Sovata, Ensana Health SPA Hotels.
Investors and managers from the spa and wellness market, tourism agencies, representatives of central and local authorities, domestic and international partners from the associative environment, manufacturers and distributors of products and equipment for the spa and spa tourism sector, representatives of academia and the press are expected to participate.
