Key words like “Health Strategy”, “Health Programmes”, “Threats to Health”, “Health determinants” and “Health systems” will help to get concrete proposals. In a Europe without borders “cross border healthcare and patients safety are getting more and more important. Also these key words will help to find the correspondent EU website.
The spa sector is also a part of tourism and is located in GD Enterprises. The websites are indicated.

Health and Tourism are very important matters in the spas. In the parliaments of different countries and also in the European Parliament proposals for a “directive for prevention” have been discussed. Unfortunately there were no decisions till now.
But talking about prevention everybody must consider, that the best and in some countries unique offers for prevention are presented in the spas. It is up the spa towns, spa hotels or sanatoriums to promote their offers in all over the world.

The EU-Parliament was deciding 3 years ago about the directive for services. Health services are not included. The owners and the managers of the spas should observe the development.

Cohesion policy might be important for the development of the regions. A Presentation will help to find out the way in different countries.
