THALASSOTHERAPY IN OPATIJA: A century and a half long tradition and half a century of an institution

Amir Muzur ; Rijeka Univeristy, Faculty of Medicine, Rijeka, Croatia

Abstract

Within just a thirty-year period (1884-1914), Opatija was transformed from a village into a European tourist attraction, basing its offer primarily upon the favorable geographic-climatic elements and medical innovations of quality. This rich tradition is revived and continued by the Opatija Thalassotherapia, founded fifty years ago. By introducing new contents, the Thalassotherapia imposes itself as a regional leader in health tourism.
