Yesterday, on the third and final day of the Third Antalya Health Fair, we used our stay in Antalya even for a short visit. Was disappointing on arrival, as only a few vehicles were on the park area. So little interest in the fair, we didn't expect.
So there was only one hall filled with exhibitors, there to present their thermal and spa hotels with the applications of thermal baths up to their salt treatments.
The larger clinics in Antalya were also there. Because of the few visitors we got the opportunity to have some interesting discussions on the planning and conceptional ideas in health tourism, we will talkl about separately.
As before, a variety of areas in health tourism for cost reasons are so attractive, it's worth the flight to Turkey from Europe. This many health insurance companies have recognized in between and are active in terms of cost reduction to find partners with local hospitals and / or application of institutions.
Here are some of the program:
