Testimonials
It was an absolutely amazing time I had at 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 luxury for the organizer and sponsors for the great opportunity and fruitful hospitality.

Looking forward to attending the next year event.

Wonderful experience at The IHWTC!

Connecting with professionals from around the world who are dedicated to providing the best healthcare has been truly enriching. Events like these provide valuable opportunities to learn from each other, share insights and best practices, and foster collaborations that can have a positive impact on the healthcare industry as a whole. I'm glad I had the chance to be a part of such an event and contribute to the collective knowledge and expertise in the field of healthcare.

Thank you once again for the invitation for this tremendous event. It was executed by your group at the highest level, congratulations! Please keep me posted about other events, we might be interested to attend again.

Agora gave us a platform to come out from our captured Pacific Islands and Western Pacific Region, and to open to the bigger, more coveted Middle East - a bridge to important buyers and decision-makers from that side of the world through this Congress.

For what it’s worth, the IHWTC opened more doors for us than we imagined. A 6,200% estimated ROI through generated sales lead after the entire Congress is undeniably overwhelming, but we’re excited to be able to go deeper into the GCC market, as well as explore possibilities of North Africa and East Mediterranean.

Padayon Pilipinas! Looking forward for more that’s to come for health tourism!

Agora Group hosted The International Health and Wellness Tourism Congress (IHWTC) on 08.-09.06.2023, at Hotel KÖ59 in Düsseldorf, Germany. The congress showed how interesting and useful an event organized by professionals with international experience can be for the medical tourism industry. From the choice of venue to the selection of speakers and participants, everything was top-notch. I particularly enjoyed the 1 on 1 meetings with representatives of clinics, hotels and tourism departments from dierent countries and cities. New contacts for business have already started to work.

I wish all participants and organizers of IHWTC’23 great success!
