Unreal configuration of mountain massives, which rise directly from the Adriatic Sea, make the climate in Montenegro more than convenient for development of the best health tourism. The ideal location which Montenegro has in comparison with big European centers and clear orientation towards coming out on European market completes the mosaic of perspective development of health tourism. This was confirmed by Marie Mancel, one of the most famous French journalist and experts for spa tourism who said: ” In Europe for sure there isn’t an institute similar to institute “Dr Simo Milosevic”, precisely, there isn’t an institute with possibilities like this one in Igalo.
