OUR OFFER

Scenario Tool

Within the Interreg Alpine Space project HEALPS², we developed a tool that helps destination managers to analyze and optimize the health tourism potential of their region with regard to evidence-based products.

This tool allows you to generate added value through the unique and local potential of your Alpine region. It compares theoretically derived ideal images of nature-based and health-promoting tourism based on medical evidence with the reality in your region. The recommendations result from the best possible match between ideal conditions and reality.
