Spa & Wellness Travel Exhibition

In 2003, the well-known German trade magazine for travel agents touristik aktuell (ta) – circulation of more than 30.000 copies per week – and the European Spas Association (ESPA) will again organise the

Spa & Wellness Travel Exhibition 2003 on the occasion of the Reisemarkt Köln International (Cologne International Travel Market), taking place from Friday, 28 November until Sunday, 30 November 2003.

Reisemarkt Köln International (Cologne International Travel Market), located in the important economic region Cologne – Dusseldorf, with the Ruhr region nearby, is the ideal place for the second European Exhibition for Health Tourism.

Exhibitors from Europe and the Mediterranean are invited to present their spa and wellness offers to end consumers and trade visitors on more than 2000 m² in halls 2.1 and 3.1. in the exhibition centre in Cologne/Deutz.

We offer

  • spas and health resorts
  • wellness and spa hotels
  • thalasso and Kneipp facilities
  • regional and national spas associations
  • and tour operators
  • a forum for a tailor-made and successful presentation of their marketing activities.

With more than 39,000 visitors during the three exhibition days of last year’s Travel Market a record number has been reached. It was on this occasion that the Spa & Wellness Travel Exhibition 2002 has been launched successfully. Many exhibitors intend to participate also in this year’s exhibition.

X Former exhibitors are granted a loyalty discount of 10% on the package price in case they realise their bookings until 15.04.2003, and we also guarantee the location of their stands.

The feedback by our exhibitors on the first exhibition for health tourism showed that the clear presentation of our sector contrasted favourably with that by suppliers of general tourism packages. And more than that, on the basis of the services we offered, our exhibitors were able to realise additional marketing activities.

With the help of this new form of attracting our target groups we support the trend that consumers are more and more specialising in their demand.
