The event will be held with the contribution of Elitour and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development under the auspices of Enterprise Greece and will highlight the unique investment opportunities in Greece for the development of hospitality structures that will offer health and wellness services. Emphasis will be given in the competitive advantages of Greece, both in terms of geographical location, coastline, natural resources and bioclimate. From a business point of view, today’s competitive prices for buying or renting land or real estate, as well as the relatively low cost of human resources, make Greece a great opportunity for investment in this sector.
"Health Tourism is, across the developed world, a high-return investment, boosting entrepreneurship while enhancing public health. Greece possesses all the strategic advantages that convert the country in one of the most popular destinations for international visitors, any time of the year: highly experienced doctors and scientific staff, state-of-the-art health facilities, high-level accommodation and catering services, in combination with the unique climate and Mediterranean diet – key elements for the recovery and maintenance of health and well-being." says George Patoulis, President of Elitour, President of Athens Medical Association and Regional Governor of Attica.
"The quality of the services provided combined with the competitive cost, as well as the legal framework of the country, showcases health tourism as an advantageous, attractive field of activity for the dynamic investor from all over the world.
Our goal is to make the most of this unique opportunity. Through systematic actions undertaken by Elitour, in collaboration with all the country’s institutional sectors, we pave the way for healthy entrepreneurship and sustainable investments in health tourism to offer new development prospects to the Greek market and services of even better quality and innovation to the visitors.
In this effort, every contribution is significant. Together we can make Greece a role model in Health and Wellness Tourism."
