Regional efforts in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia are increasingly focusing on wellness, fitness, and health-based tourism. 

In Banja Luka, the ‘Well Fit 2026’ festival is scheduled for September 18–20 at Mladen Stojanović Park. This three-day event, part of the ‘September in the Park’ initiative, aims to promote healthy lifestyles through outdoor training, educational lectures, and community connection.

Broadening this focus, officials in the Banja Luka region are working to establish Manjača as a year-round destination featuring activities ranging from winter skiing to summer events like the Dragon Boat festival. Similarly, in Serbia’s Vojvodina region, wellness destinations such as Banja Rusanda and Banja Slankamen are being highlighted for their therapeutic uses of thermal springs, medicinal mud, and mineral waters to treat various medical conditions.
