EU Commissioner Ms. Ekaterina Zaharieva shares her heartfelt congratulations to the European Spas Association on its 30th Anniversary

We are deeply honoured to receive this inspiring message from Ms. Ekaterina Zaharieva, EU Commissioner, on the occasion of the 30th Anniversary Congress of the European Spas Association.

Her words highlight the vital role of Europe’s medical spas and natural health resorts in advancing preventive healthcare, sustainable tourism, and climate-responsive wellbeing.

“Reaching three decades of leadership in promoting preventive healthcare, sustainable tourism, and climate-responsive wellness is an extraordinary achievement. Your continued dedication to positioning Europe’s medical spas and natural health resorts at the forefront of innovation is both visionary and deeply aligned with the EU’s goals for longevity, resilience, and green transformation.”

This recognition reinforces our shared mission — to bridge tradition and innovation, ensuring that Europe’s healing destinations remain key contributors to longevity, resilience, and sustainable development.

We thank Commissioner Zaharieva and the European institutions for acknowledging our collective efforts. Together, we continue building a healthier and more sustainable Europe — one where nature, science, and wellbeing go hand in hand.
