European Spas Association (ESPA)

We promote spa medicine as a curative and preventive approach using natural remedies, rehabilitation techniques and education as part of a healthy lifestyle The European Spas Association was founded 1995 in Brussels as an umbrella spa industry organisation representing 20 European countries with natural remedies. It is a non-profit and non-governmental association based on Belgian law (A.I.S.B.L.).We believe it is important and indeed the norm for just one European association to be the authorised representative of a sector vis-à-vis the European Commission and the European Parliament and to be involved in the relevant procedures. The core principle of the European Spas Association is “Unity is strength!”. We are therefore taking up the challenge to fulfil the tasks that result from the opening of borders in Europe and the extension of the EU, to achieve the defined common aims of its members.
