We wish to thank you, the sponsors, and all the staff of Agora Group for the very prestigious, professional, and valuable event you organized with your team. Every detail was so professionally managed.

From the buyer's point of view, the quality of the B2B was very high - we had the possibility to meet several groups of Hospitals, Clinics, and Hotels which represent the Leading Excellence in Healthcare in Europe and in the world, as well as Tourism Boards for visualizing a complete experience to offer our readers on our platform.

When B2B is well organized, as you did, it allows us to save time and money in meeting and selecting our esteemed colleagues and qualified future partners, as well as to connect with new professionals and expand our education.

During the event, we had a wide range of speeches and panel discussions focusing on insights and experiences, with dedicated attention to the enhancement and sustainable transformation of healthcare provision worldwide.

It was an absolutely amazing time I had at the International Health and Wellness Tourism Congress 2023 in Düsseldorf, Germany. Agora Group organized a perfectly-arranged event for our industry of health and wellness tourism. I was able to meet governmental representatives, medical institutions, and facilitators from all over the world to greet and discuss the future of the industry.

Düsseldorf was a beautiful city and the venue hotel for the event was a luxury for the organizer and sponsors for the great opportunity and fruitful hospitality.

Looking forward to attending the next year event.
