Abstract

An important task of the Heilbäder und Kurorte Marketing GmbH Baden-Württemberg is to market the spas and health resorts of Baden-Württemberg as contemporary health destinations. To achieve this goal, a market research-based strategy was developed in the years 2019 to 2022. This envisions positioning health tourism in Baden-Württemberg on two tracks via the topics ‘health’ and ‘recovery’. For this reason the question arose to what extent the customer approach should be differentiated regarding these two macro segments. To answer this question, in the year 2022 a quantitative market research study was conducted, in which the current communication (terms, slogans, advertising images and advertisements) was compared with regard to the two previously mentioned topics. The results of the study suggest that the topic of ‘recovery’ is more suitable overall for addressing customers than the topic of ‘health’.
