"Since I’m representing new Radisson Blu Resort in Split, Croatia we definitely needed this fair to promote our Anne Semonin Spa (2000 m2). It gave us unique opportunity to meet with buyers and to talk with colleagues from our industry. We definitely hope that in the future it will be even more buyers and exhibitors."
Petar Dragičević, Radisson Blu Resort Split, Croatia
"We would like to thank the organizers for the study trip to Wellness in Slovenian and Croatia organized on Sunday. The guests were very satisfied and the only way to show them our offer was to bring them to Istraturist Umag."
Leila Štrus, Istraturist Umag d.d., Croatia
"Thank you very much for inviting me for the Spa Ce conference. You and your team had put in a great effort for the meeting which was very well organized.
