"Health Benefit 2017 - 2019" was an initiative that discovers and promotes excellence and innovation in interdisciplinary communication between medicine, tourism and insurance because tourism and health do not exclude each other - but they do not necessarily form a synergy!
Some of interesting results are on this page!

Chart: Survey results 2017-2018 "Insurance companies care about the health of their insured persons and refund them expenses for health improvement services, such as for example wellness and recreation."
The reason for the initiative
The stigmatization of sick and old people in tourism, as well as the failure of interdisciplinary communication, were „trigger“ for the research “Tourism of the future – benefit for health".
Chart: Survey results 2017-2018 "Do you think that sick people are undesirable in tourism?"
The inspiration for the initiative
Health and wellness tourism are boomed and offer great opportunities for both, providers and consumers, but the lack of information related to sick people in tourism is often the reason for insecurity and cause for a "passive" life without holidays.

Implementation of the initiative Health Benefit
The saturated communication channels and the demanding conditions for the protection of personal data prompted us to create a new communication solution for a simple implementation of our initiative:
The competition "Treasures of modern health" enables the implementation of booth scientific and economic aspects of the initiative.
The scientific part of the initiative, the research, consists of information gathering and processing. Filling out an on-line questionnaire is anonymous, voluntary and free of charge.
The economic part of the initiative unites different business concepts. The funding comes from the competition "Treasures of modern health" and the Convention Health Benefit.
To motivate the participants for the survey, we support our partners by organizing prize games.
