Wellness - a holiday with quality

To become a Wellness Centre a location must fulfil a number of requirements for service and quality. These are decided by partners and trade people from within the industry. Once they qualify, the Danish wellness places can then use the recognized Wellness-Logo. If you look out for the Wellness-Logo you will be guarantied top class quality and service.

Since spring 2004, the Wellness quality label scheme has been extended to the golf, angling, cycling and gastronomy sectors. As a result, companies in these areas will be able to market themselves with an exclusive quality logo as a proof that they fulfil the specific requirements. It is a national initiative by
VisitDenmark and the Danish tourism industry. The scheme aims to make it easier to find the best products available in each of these new sectors throughout Denmark, assuring you a great holiday experience.
