The 5th Panhellenic Congress of Thermal Medicine will take place on 11-13 October at the GALINI Hotel in Kammena Vourla, aiming at the extraction and utilization of new scientific findings from its lectures and workshops.
The Conference is organized, annually by the Hellenic Academy of Thermal Medicine and is expected to attract international participants and opinion leaders of the fields of Thermal and Wellness Medicine and Thermal and Wellness Tourism.
It will discuss the new institutional and legislative framework for the country’s thermal springs network, as well as the developmental opportunities and challenges of spa and thermal Tourism in Greece.
Thermal Medicine gains scientific ground internationally and is becoming a trend among tourists visiting Greece. The millions of international travelers of the Wellness Tourism Market are particularly interested in the ancient and natural spas of our country, some of which have been the first Medical Tourism destinations in the world in antiquity. The Greek State has acknowledged and institutionalized Thermal Medicine as a Complementary Medicine, while the National Kapodistrian University has established a diploma and an e-learning department of Thermal Medicine.
