A seminar on Czech spa and health tourism was held in Dublin

On October 23 2018, the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Dublin together with CzechTourism in London organized a successful seminar on Czech spa and health tourism. The seminar was held within the framework of projects for the promotion of economic diplomacy (PROPED). The aim was to introduce 6 Czech companies in the aforementioned areas, to find suitable Irish partners and interested parties, to inform the Irish professional and journalistic community, as well as to raise the overall awareness of the possibilities of Czech healthcare.
 

At the beginning of the event, Irish participants first had the opportunity to meet representatives of Czech spa and health facilities and get acquainted with their offerings. Then there were very interesting presentations of the Czech representatives: Imperial Hotel, Karlovy Vary, a.s. represented by Gabriela Jacobsz Milská, spa Bělohrad a.s. Lukáš Krema, Marienbad Kur & Spa Hotels Patrície Irlveková, Jáchymov Spa Miloslav Smrž, Klimkovice Sanatorium Lukáš Dostál and Spa Teplice Yveta Slišková. The interest of the attendees was also enhanced by a two-fold "interruption" of the presentations with a prize draw that was won by three Irish representatives who correctly answered quiz questions based on the night. The winners will enjoy a free stay at a particular health facility in the Czech Republic with numerous treatments.

Numerous bilateral negotiations took place during the subsequent dinner and prospective contacts were established. This should guarantee the further development of relations between Czech and Irish partners.

The Embassy of the Czech Republic and the CzechTourim office in London are pleased with the high levels of satisfaction shown by both the Czech and Irish participants. However, we are aware that this was only the first step in bringing Czech spas and health tourism to Ireland, with many more needed in order to succeed. Looking ahead, the Embassy will focus not only on the promotion of the high level of Czech healthcare to the Irish professional and the general public alike, but also on changing the perception of spas, which can consist of not only relaxing and wellness but also expert medical care.
