ABOUT THE FAIR
The OTDYKH Leisure Travel Market is an annual international trade fair and conference focusing on spa, wellness, and health tourism. Launched in 2005, it has since evolved into Russia’s leading platform for showcasing innovative services, products, and trends in this sector. The event is organized by Euro Expo, a company with extensive experience in staging professional exhibitions and conferences. The name “OTDYKH”, derived from the Russian word for “relaxation” or “rest”, reflects the core of the event: the intersection of health, well-being, and travel.
The fair brings together private and public clinics, specialized rehabilitation and diagnostic centers, health resorts, medical spas, and providers in the medical tourism sector. It serves as a unique forum for the entire health and wellness travel industry. The range of topics includes traditional offerings such as spa and wellness resorts, medically supervised treatments, yoga and retreat travel, and active holidays, as well as cutting-edge services like curative therapies, post-operative rehabilitation, health check-up programs, and dental tourism. Complementing these services are products and technologies such as modern spa equipment, natural and cosmetic products, and management and booking systems for facilities.
A distinguishing feature of the OTDYKH Leisure Travel Market is its dual function as both a trade and public fair. It attracts industry professionals—such as tour operators, hoteliers, physicians, investors, and trade journalists—while also addressing end consumers interested in wellness travel, health treatments, or an active lifestyle, offering them the opportunity to compare or book directly. The supporting program includes expert presentations, plenary sessions, round tables, business meetings, and discussion forums, all designed to encourage exchange and networking. In addition, the Education Travel LAB offers a training format specifically tailored to travel agencies.
Traditionally held in Moscow, the event benefits from the city's cultural and economic significance, making it an ideal location for international industry gatherings. The fair serves as a central meeting point for exhibitors and visitors from around the world and plays an important role in promoting health tourism in Russia and beyond.
OTDYKH Leisure Travel Market uniquely combines business, information, and experience. It provides professionals with opportunities to expand their networks and form new partnerships, with a strong focus on the Russian and international spa and health tourism sectors. Thanks to its clear orientation towards specific markets, services, and target groups—and its blend of trade fair, public platform, and knowledge hub—it is regarded as a key hub for the future of wellness and medical tourism both in Russia and globally.
The OTDYKH Leisure Travel Market will take place on 3 days from Wednesday, 02. September to Friday, 04. September 2026 in Moscow.
