They influence the cultural background of the region, are an important economic and social factor and preserve many jobs in four seasons.<\/p>\n<h4>MOST IMPORTANT DUTY TO BE FULFILLED BY THE ASSOCIATION<\/h4>\n<p>The ESPA is taking up the challenge to fulfil the tasks that result from the opening of borders in Europe and the extension of the EU. With the present credo the ESPA intends to set up clear and comparable structures that make the collaboration between the countries much easier. These papers will help organisations to support their demands with political institutions on a national level by additional European arguments.<\/p>\n<h4>POSITIONS IN DETAIL<\/h4>\n<div>\n<table border=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"cBlueEspa\"><strong>1.<\/strong>\u00a0Naturally occurring<strong>\u00a0local remedies<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nform the basis of medical spas, health resorts and spa facilities. Naturally occurring local remedies are the basis to differentiate between several types of spas and health resorts such as\u00a0<strong>mineral spas and thermal spas, peloid, spas at the seaside and in a healthy climate and Kneipp spas<\/strong>. A formal structure of this kind and to such an extent cannot be found in all countries. In some countries a structure is also part of being recognized (by the state). Here the common objective must be to establish a standardized structure in order to create more transparency on the European market.<span class=\"cBlueEspa\"><strong>2.<\/strong>\u00a0The recognition of spas, health resorts and spa facilities<\/span><br \/>\nshould be generally\u00a0<strong>recognized by the state and on a legal basis<\/strong>. This recognition should not only be based on the local natural remedy, but has to include the entire health resort or facility with all its specific and therapeutic offers. The present credo and the respective conditions in the different countries form the basis for the recognition.<span class=\"cBlueEspa\"><strong>3.<\/strong>\u00a0Medical spas, health resorts and spa facilities\u00a0<\/span>are usually located in a beautiful and idyllic landscape, in\u00a0<strong>unpolluted nature<\/strong>\u00a0which offers optimal conditions for a healthy holiday, where sustainable development is in the focus.<span class=\"cBlueEspa\"><strong>4.<\/strong>\u00a0Regulations on environmental protection\u00a0<\/span>are a specific task of spas cities and health resorts. They do not only follow the general regulations for places of residence, but even want to exceed those regulations with<strong>\u00a0respect to air purity, water and sewage, traffic and noise<\/strong>. They want to be and must be better than others to keep the healthy environment.<span class=\"cBlueEspa\"><strong>5.<\/strong>\u00a0Qualified prevention and rehabilitation<\/span><br \/>\nWith respect to their equipment and experience spas, health resorts and spa facilities are well prepared to offer qualified prevention and rehabilitation. Therefore, they play an important role in health supply, especially in the treatment of chronic diseases considering the age of clients. Medical spas and facilities focus on a different use of prevention and rehabilitation and\u00a0<strong>in-patient and out-patient<\/strong>\u00a0offers; they want, and they can offer more than only healthy holidays. In this context prevention means that it is in accordance with the international definition of\u00a0<strong>exercise, nutrition and relaxation, uses local remedies<\/strong>\u00a0and, like rehabilitation, aims at sustainability. Spa guests more and more expect to find wellness programs. These are offered in spas and health resorts. With respect to their original meaning and their competence healthy aspects are the essential element of these healty lifestyle programs.<span class=\"cBlueEspa\"><strong>6.<\/strong>\u00a0Health resort\u00a0<strong>doctors\/specialist<\/strong><\/span>are a must in medical spas and health resorts. Here, the focus lies on the qualification for a proper use of naturally occurring local remedies (specific treatment methods), of physical therapies and of prevention and rehabilitation. Treatment methods with dominating disorders and chronic diseases should be paid special attention in this context. It is important to harmonize different educational programs and trainings. The structural assignment and recognition depend on the respective national structures.<span class=\"cBlueEspa\"><strong>7.<\/strong>\u00a0The spectrum of guests<\/span><br \/>\nin spas, health resorts and spa facilities is very wide. It goes beyond the pure longing for recreation and includes healthy and ill people, covers all stages of\u00a0<strong>prevention (primary\u2013secondary\u2013tertiary) until rehabilitation and the treatment of chronic diseases.<\/strong>\u00a0It includes out-patient and in-patient treatments and also stays of several weeks with well-structured treatments as well as short stays with different purposes.<span class=\"cBlueEspa\"><strong>8.<\/strong>\u00a0Naturally occurring local remedies<\/span><br \/>\nNaturally occurring local remedies play an important role for medical spas and health resorts (see position 1.) &#8211; also to be reflected through state recognition. They are most effective when they are included in integral that means complex concepts of treatments. A natural remedy alone does not form the basis for being recognized as a medical spa, a health resort or a spa facility. Despite common EU law there are still considerable differences in the use of these remedies depending on the country &#8211; definitions, parameters or legal basic conditions have been developing from different traditions.<\/p>\n<p>ESPA has to develop reliable definitions and parameters from a professional and scientific point of view or at least an approach with respect to those points that still differ from each other. In this process the different legal regulations should be neglected as much as possible. A focus should be rather placed on the remedy and the expectations of the remedy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>a.<\/strong>\u00a0Springs with\u00a0<strong>medicinal water<\/strong>\u00a0for therapeutic use<\/p>\n<p>are in many spas and health resorts the basic and relevant aspect for being recognized as a health resort or a spa facility (by the state). Both areas of application are of importance, the internal use, e.g. for\u00a0<strong>drinking and inhalation<\/strong>\u00a0as well as the external use in bath\/pools or\u00a0<strong>active therapies<\/strong>\u00a0for example. Active therapies usually are open to the public and have to fulfil the existing legal requirements in the respective country. Here, all member associations of the ESPA share the same point of view. Different views, however, are to be stated with respect to the understanding and handling of definitions, relevant parameters and the adaptation to the laws in the different countries, especially the protection of springs.<\/td>\n<td><strong>b. Healing gases and mofetta<\/strong>Healing gases are also to be found in spring water, irrespective of being part of a solution (see position 11a.). Radon, H2S, CO2 are the gases to be applied. The recognition as a local remedy is subject to the law in the respective country.<strong>c.<\/strong>\u00a0Spas, spa facilities and health resorts at the seasideThese resorts usually apply\u00a0<strong>Thalasso therapies<\/strong>\u00a0which are inevitably connected to the sea. The therapeutic use is linked with the immediate neighborhood of the sea and its climatic influence. Regard to thalassotherapy the distance to the seaside has to be fixed as an aspect for the recognition of spas and spa facilities \u2013 then called Thalasso centers (not more than 600-800m). Isolated substances of the sea (algae, silt) are also considered as part of a thalassotherapy. Since they may be well preserved in distant areas, however, they are also offered in resorts far away from the seaside.<strong>d.<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Peloids<\/strong>\u00a0in medical spasplay an important role in European spas. According to their definition as local remedies they are applied for therapies. Nearly all member countries agree on a definition of peloids which were produced during geological and\/or biological processes and are used in treatments in form of compresses, packs or also in bath. Depending on their composition &#8211; organic and\/or inorganic proportions &#8211; physical effects, e.g. thermal or mechanic, and also chemical effects may be achieved.<strong>e.<\/strong>\u00a0Bioclimate\/<strong>healing climate<\/strong>is a very important factor for health resorts. A suitable bioclimate that has been proven by an expert is an absolute must for these resorts in order to fulfil their task to spend health. Together with air purity that supports the therapeutic use of the climate it is an important requirement for these resorts. Healing climate is based on the therapeutic use of the local climate that, as a local remedy (stimulus-reaction concept), is the basis for being recognized as a health resort.<strong>f.<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Kneipp therapy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In order to be recognized as an individual spa type it has to apply the complex and well-structured treatment concept according to Kneipp.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"cBlueEspa\"><strong>9.<\/strong>\u00a0The equipment\u00a0<\/span>of spas, health resorts and spa facilities is organised according to the spectrum of their clients and, due to a concentration with respect to treatments, e.g. only in-patient\/out-patient, often is very one-sided. Especially healthy holiday guests are offered hotels and guest-houses of different categories. With a focus on medical aspects clients find central and decentralised therapy facilities for out-patient, in-patient and partly in-patient therapies and even highly qualified clinics for acute treatments. Efficient offers for medical treatments and an adequate number of accommodation offers should be a prerequisite for being recognised as a spa, health resort or spa facility.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong>\u00a0Other important conditions<\/p>\n<p>One single remedy does not yet define a spa, health resort or spa facility as such. Other important Faktors are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The character, the appearance of a spa, part of the town or a spa facility must correspond to the guests\u2019 expectations and has to be in line with its task as a\u00a0<strong>healthy place<\/strong>. Parks, infrastructure for physical activities, offering healthy food for example, must always be part of a spa city.<\/li>\n<li>A spa, health resort or spa facility must be well-prepared for the needs of handicapped persons.<\/li>\n<li>One of the basic requirements for being recognized as a health resort is the equipment with reasonable fittings for the treatment with local remedies (also for physical therapy). These are centers for therapy and baths, special rooms for relaxation, physical exercise and sports\/sports therapy, the use of healing water, Kneipp therapy, healing climate etc. in order to give concrete indications not only with respect to the demands of health insurances.<\/li>\n<li>There should be scientific evidence. Cultural and entertaining programs are part of an integral concept of offers in a health resort.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"tdi_98\" class=\"tdc-row stretch_row_1200 td-stretch-content\"><div id=\"activities\" class=\"vc_row tdi_99 activities wpb_row td-pb-row\" >\n<style scoped>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_99,\r\n                .tdi_99 .tdc-columns{\r\n                    min-height: 0;\r\n                }.tdi_99,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_99 .tdc-columns{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: block;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_99 .tdc-columns{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_99:before,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_99:after{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: table;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n\/* inline tdc_css att - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* phone *\/\n@media (max-width: 767px)\n{\n.tdi_99{\nmargin-right:10px !important;\nmargin-left:10px !important;\n}\n}\n\n<\/style><div class=\"vc_column tdi_101  wpb_column vc_column_container tdc-column td-pb-span12\">\n<style scoped>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_101{\r\n                    vertical-align: baseline;\r\n                }.tdi_101 > .wpb_wrapper,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_101 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    display: block;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_101 > .wpb_wrapper > .tdc-elements{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_101 > .wpb_wrapper > .vc_row_inner{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_101 > .wpb_wrapper{\r\n\t\t\t\t    width: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t    height: auto;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\" ><div class=\"tdm_block td_block_wrap tdm_block_column_title tdi_102 tdm-content-horiz-left td-pb-border-top td_block_template_2\"  data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_102\" ><div class=\"td-block-row\"><div class=\"td-block-span12 tdm-col\">\n<style>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\nbody .tdi_103 .tdm-title{\r\n\t\t\t\t\tbackground-color: #254094;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t-webkit-background-clip: text;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t-webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;\r\n\t\t\t\t}html[class*='ie'] .tdi_103 .tdm-title{\r\n\t\t\t\t    background: none;\r\n\t\t\t\t\tcolor: #254094;\r\n\t\t\t\t}.tdi_103 .tdm-title{\r\n\t\t\t\t\tfont-family:Jost !important;font-size:40px !important;line-height:1.4 !important;font-weight:700 !important;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\n<\/style><div class=\"tds-title tds-title1 td-fix-index tdi_103 \"><h3 class=\"tdm-title tdm-title-md\">Activities<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_wrapper wpb_text_column td_block_wrap td_block_wrap vc_column_text tdi_104  tagdiv-type td-pb-border-top td_block_template_2\"  data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_104\" >\n<style>\n\n\/* inline tdc_css att - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n\n\/* phone *\/\n@media (max-width: 767px)\n{\n.tdi_104{\nmargin-right:10px !important;\n}\n}\n\n<\/style>\n<style>\n\/* custom css - generated by TagDiv Composer *\/\n.tdi_104,\r\n                .tdi_104 p{\r\n\t\t\t        font-family:Jost !important;font-size:16px !important;\r\n\t\t        }.tdi_104 h2{\r\n\t\t\t        font-family:Jost !important;font-size:28px !important;font-weight:700 !important;\r\n\t\t        }.tdi_104 h4{\r\n\t\t\t        font-size:20px !important;font-weight:600 !important;\r\n\t\t        }.tdi_104{\r\n\t\t\t        color: rgba(37,64,148,0.91);\r\n\t\t        }.tdi_104 h1,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_104 h2,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_104 h3,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_104 h4,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_104 h5,\r\n\t\t\t\t.tdi_104 h6{\r\n\t\t\t        color: #254094;\r\n\t\t        }\n<\/style><div class=\"td-fix-index\"><div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row pt-5 pb-4 pb-sm-5\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<p class=\"section-heading\">By increasing health expectancy our members provide in a relaxing, unpolluted environment, far away from stress to maintain the vital heritage of our guest and patient with natural therapies, offering enriched care programs with a Preventive, Predictive, Personalized care services using natural remedies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"euprogrammesBody\" class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<p>Cooperation in EU working groups for firsthand information and being in Experts teams and searching for participation by EU calls.<\/p>\n<p>Better acknowledged that medical spa operators are health providers, offering a complementary treatment to follow-up on cancer, diabetes, arthritis, overweight and obesity, respiratory diseases, the loss of autonomy among elderly people and some other chronic conditions.
