From June 4–6, 2025, Budapest hosted the International Thermal Tourism Congress, bringing together over 140 delegates from 30 countries to explore the future of thermal and wellness tourism.
Organised by the European Historic Thermal Towns Association (EHTTA) with the support of UN Tourism, the event featured keynotes, panel discussions, and networking sessions focused on innovation, heritage, sustainability, and well-being.
Held at the iconic Thermal Margaret Island Health Spa Hotel, the Congress welcomed municipal leaders, tourism professionals, researchers, and wellness operators who discussed the evolving needs of modern travellers and the role of historic thermal towns in today’s tourism landscape.
