The Voice of the Chairman Every year the European Medical Travel Conference is held in another country of the EU, bringing together the international community of the medical travel industry and the political representatives of various health care systems and policies. We have put together also for the Barcelona event, a prominent speaker academy, attractive topics and a perfect exhibition site and networking system. The medical travel has become a worldwide phenomenon, yet the focus points and patient streams tend to concentrate on certain destinations. We analyze the attractors, the offers, the quality, the case management and look also into the spa and medical wellness business. The EMTC 2011 is the year`s event which you cannot afford to miss.
