Conference "Bathing Culture - Touristic heritage and cultural historical potential"
Baden 27 - 29 November 2014

The association ArchaeoTourism2012 (AT2012) organised her second conference «Bathing Culture - Touristic heritage and cultural historical potential » in 2014 in Baden, Switzerland. 

Today, wellness and bathing tourism form an important element in the Swiss tourism industry, like it was in Roman times. Mineral springs and thermal baths served then, like they do now, to promote health and relaxation. Baths and bathing culture are among of the most significant culture historical achievements from ancient times that still exist in the mineral springs and spas of today. The baths of Baden (the ancient Aquae Helveticae) and other spas were until the beginning of the Alpine tourism in the 19th century the first touristic destinations in Switzerland.

The relation between bathing tourism and recent developments corresponding to an important phase of Baden’s 2000-year old history forms the background of this conference. Presentations of examples from Switzerland and abroad as well as workshops   will allow an exchange of information and ideas not only between archaeologists/historians/cultural managers and tourism- and marketing experts but also with bath operators and investors to the mentioned topic of ''bathing culture".

Location: Berufsfachschule BBB Baden, Switzerland
