Fund Cluster for Health Tourism of Vojvodina was established 23 August 2007, it was the brainchild of the local authorities (Kanjiza, Senta, Ada, Becej, Subotica, Backa Topola, Mali Idos) in order to unite local authorities, companies and institutions in Vojvodina. The main aim of this newly founded organization is to provide new technologies, resources, knowledge and financial stability in order to improve and strengthen the Cluster for Health Tourism of Vojvodina. The common interest of local authorities, institutions, companies, medical establishments and NGOs is to promote production, innovation and to create new workplaces in the sphere of health tourism. In the recent years, contracts and agreements have been drafted and signed for business- and technical cooperation and support between concerned authorities, companies and institutions in Vojvodina. The cluster plays a significant role in realizing the Execution Plan for the development of health resorts and in the Marketing Strategy for the development of health tourism of Vojvodina and international cooperation with EU countries. One of the most important international contracts is the Euro-regional Agreement of Cooperation signed with Hungary and Romania, increasing the number of jobs available in the cluster and making it possible to enter the European Market. Further works on international standards "EUROSPA" have been confirmed. Euro-reagional Tourism Cluster has been established for reserving natural environment, paying special attention on initiation of new technologies and providing education for required experts. At the end of 2009 the cluster was presented an international award -- "For Tourism of Pannonian Plain" -- by the Hungarian National Tourist Organization. It came as a result of successful cooperation between the cluster and other European countries. An International Protocol of Cooperation has been signed containing the following subjects: exchange of information; application of European programs in the development of health-, rural- and ecological tourism; improvement of tourism along rivers Tisa and Danube; accreditation of the international status of river Tisa; development of a river border crossing point between Szeged (Hungary) and Kanjiza (Serbia); participation in national and international tourism exhibitions in Budapest, Ljubljana and Belgrade. A number of foreign presentations have been organized -- in Austria, Hungary, Italy and Slovenia -- with the purpose of promoting the Cluster for Health Tourism of Vojvodina. Today we have more than 50 members from 14 communities of Vojvodina and entering into a contract with other 11 communities is in progress. The untouched natural features and structure of Vojvodina is a great example of harmony between humans and nature. Hundreds of years of forgotten values -- works of art and architectural curiosities -- have been protected due to traditions. Unique building style, products and specialties of local manufacturers, skills passed from father to son, etno-houses -- all these features give tourists a supremely full vacation in Vojvodina. ...บูชิ
