“I’d like to express my deep gratitude to all those who made this recognition possible,” said Kovanic, “it’s a true honour for me and I’m sincerely grateful for this distinction.

“Thank you to everyone for your continued support and trust.”

Designed for hospitality, spa, thermal and thalassotherapy professionals, the 16th edition of the Forum HOTel&Spa will take place at the Four Seasons George V Hotel in Paris on 30 May 2024.

Meanwhile, the Medical Wellness Congress will return to Austria from 8-9 April 2024 at St. Martins Spa & Lodge in Frauenkirchen, near Vienna.
