The government of Croatia (one of the best tourist destinations in Europe) is planning to package Indian Ayurveda and Yoga along with its tourism. One of the goals is to connect European members for a more comprehensive offer of health and tourism products, said Dr. Vladimir Mozetič, President of the Management Board of the Cluster, Irena PeršićŽivadinov, who signed the MoU on behalf of the Croatia government.

As per the MoU, the two sides would undertake academic activities in the field of Ayurveda in collaboration with the identified institutions. “There will be close cooperation and collaboration on research, including study design and execution, developing evidence-based guidelines for integrating Ayurvedic principles and practices with modern medicine, conducting lectures, workshops, seminars and conferences, and other such activities on Ayurveda,” the Ministry said.
