One and a half million euros earmarked for the platform project that will generate organized flows of health, spa and wellness tourism in Italy. Tourism Minister Daniela Santanché signed the decree.

Tourism Minister Daniela Santanchè signed the decree that co-finances, for a total amount of 1.5 million euros, the Italicares Platform Project, conceived by Federterme, to be valid for the Single National Tourism Fund (FUNT) 2022, aimed at promoting medical and wellness tourism that will allow the generation of organized flows of Health, Spa and Wellness Tourism in Italy.

“A platform that will fill a heavy gap currently present in Italy compared to countries such as Spain and France, where medical-thermal tourism is a fundamental pillar, having a great connotation of deseasonalization,” the minister commented. "The platform will integrate with the italia.it platform, thus guaranteeing a complete and diversified offer that can meet the needs of all tourist flows in particular northern Europe. In fact, health tourism represents an important accelerator of development of a territory, as it is linked to the attractiveness and competitiveness of a nation, generating important spin-offs on the entire supply chain.“ ”This type of tourism,“ Santanchè continues, ”represents an established reality already in other European countries, such as France, Germany, Spain and Slovenia. For Italy it is an opportunity that needs to be exploited to the fullest, especially taking into account theimmense heritage of thermal waters present on the national territory, as well as the quality of health care, accommodation facilities and a climate that is always favorable, which helps to promote deseasonalization and the differentiation of the tourism offer."
