We are pleased to announce a new partnership between the European Spas Association and the Bled Water Forum (BWF), joining forces to advance global excellence in drinking, mineral, and spa waters.
The Bled Water Forum is currently leading several international initiatives focused on:
• New frameworks for drinking water quality
• Mineralization and classification profiles
• Source protection and public water excellence
• Advanced certification systems for institutions and facilities offering high-quality drinking water
• Education and development of water sommeliers and water technologies
We strongly believe that the European spa sector – with its deep heritage, scientific knowledge, and operational expertise – represents one of the most advanced real-world applications of mineral and natural waters for health, wellbeing, prevention, and medical tourism. This makes ESPA a natural and essential partner in shaping the future of water standards.
Together, we aim to co-create:
✔️ Global quality standards for drinking and spa waters
✔️ Classification and mineralization frameworks connecting health, wellness, and public water systems
✔️ A new certification system for destinations and facilities offering exceptional drinking and mineral waters across hospitality, spa, medical, and public environments
This cooperation will connect scientific, regulatory, and operational perspectives into a coherent European and global reference framework for water excellence.
Bled Water Forum in June, with a dedicated panel or keynote on:
“Spa, Drinking Water and Mineral Water: New Quality Standards and the Future
of Water Excellence in Health and Tourism.”
