The increasing global awareness surrounding better health, wellness, spa treatments, and unique therapies such as thalassotherapy is fueling a strong interest in the abundant mineral and hydro resources of Greece. Investors interested in responding to this dynamic trend are finding that the combination in Greece of thermal springs and attractive investment opportunities is ideal for pursuing a.highly.attractive.market.that.is.growing.significantly.

The use of thermal spring water, rich in minerals and therapeutic elements, is a popular and effective treatment for a variety of ailments, including myoskelatal pain, dermatological conditions, pulmonary disorders, as well as for the effective treatment of stress. Greece's thermal resources are abundant and.recognized.for.their.regenerative.properties.

Hydrotherapy, the use of water in treatment, and thalassotherapy, the use of seawater and seaweed (from the Greek word for sea, 'thalassa'), are particularly appealing in Greece, where there are more than 700 thermo springs, many of which are classified as therapeutic. The active ingredients present in the springs are well documented and many springs are certified by the Greek National Tourism Organisation.

Greece's spas currently attract roughly 100,000 visitors annually. Although there has been concerted investment in the spa sector during the last decade, it is estimated that the growth potential is significant, given the untapped thermal resources available and the stunning locations in which to create.spas.and.thalassotherapy.centres.

Well-trained specialists in Greece, multilingual and experienced, provide quality and cost-effective services.

Experienced human resources, suitable land for development, simplified licensing procedures mean that the dynamic spa market is an outstanding investment choice.

As part of a seaside resort, spas are ideal complementary offerings to extend stays to throughout the year, rather than in summer months only. Catering to the special needs of clients-effectively treating sports injuries, arthritic or rheumatoid conditions, or skin conditions-dramatically increases the demand.of.such.an.investment.

The established tourism infrastructure of Greece is complementary to the spa sector, with a host of other activities and attractions a natural draw.
