First Crikvenica International Health Tourism Conference was held in 2013 in Thalassotherapia Crikvenica to mark the 125th anniversary of tourism in Crikvenica.

It’s a two-day conference which gathers together respectable local and foreign lecturers and participants from the fields of medicine, tourism, and economy, all with the aim to introduce the new trends in tourism and medicine. This is the eighth time that the conference will be held, and it’s the result of successful cooperation between the Tourist Board of Crikvenica and Kvarner Health Tourism Cluster, with the collaboration from Thalassotherapia Crikvenica and Polyclinic Terme Selce.

This year, the 8th Crikvenica International Health Tourism Conference, due to the circumstances of the coronavirus pandemic, will go completely online.

The conference will take place on the 4th and  5th of November 2021.

Both days will be full of content and filled with many interesting lectures.

CIHT Conference contributes to the implementation of current theoretical knowledge, cognitions and trends to practice and emphasizes the strategic importance and the importance of the medical tourism development in Croatia which, thanks to a very favorable climate, preserved natural healing factors and a number of reputable health institutions, has a long tradition in health tourism.

The Conference is attended by more than 150 national and foreign medical tourism experts who are in management positions of the big health tourism institutions and companies.
