SPA-CE Exhibition Mission

The initiator of the SPA-CE trade show is the Slovenian Spas Association. They focus not only on Slovenian natural spas but also on spas, wellness centers and providers of medical and other programmes in Europe.

As an ideal choice for escaping from everyday routine and achieving peace of mind, wellness is also about strengthening life energy and preserving health and it is gaining momentum all across Europe.

The mission of the SPA-CE trade show is for the most important providers of spa and wellness services from European countries to meet with medical tourism companies, tourism agencies, representatives of insurance companies and other potential buyers of their services.

The 2012 SPA-CE exhibition was held in Slovenia. See below some of the 2012 event highlights.

Why choose SPA-CE Exhibition?

Unlike exhibiting at various fairs, the core of the SPA-CE event is:

• A series of pre-scheduled appointments between providers and the buyers of services
• The event is not open to the general public
• The focus is on optimum time management.

Why exhibit at SPA-CE exhibition?

• a presentation of the best providers in one space brings more interest from competent foreign buyers
• establishing contacts with new buyers
• at least 12 appointments on one day and at one place
• the possibility of additional promotion in the exhibition catalogue
• networking and exchanging experiences
• education
• the possibility of additional promotion by organizing a study visit

We are extremely happy to host spa and wellness providers from Central Europe to come and present their offer and we also extend a very warm welcome to hosted buyers who are looking to discover new spa and wellness programmes presented at SPA-CE. We are certain this is the right place for you, a place where new ideas, new programmes, marketing incentives and good practices are born every year. Definitely a place and time not to be missed!
