The “thermal digital card” is the result of the vision and commitment pursued by the Raia Termal project to make thermalism more accessible, efficient and enriching. With this card, users have access to updated information on the provincial public thermalism programmes, exclusive promotions supported by the provincial institution and a faster and safer identification in the thermal centres.

During his visit to the Termatalia fair, the president of Uruguay, Luis Lacalle, had the opportunity to explore closely this innovation, which stands as the first of its kind in the spa industry. The director of the Welfare area of the Diputación de Ourense, José Juan Cerdeira, guided President Lacalle through the details of this cutting-edge technology.

José Juan Cerdeira commented: “The ‘thermal digital card’ is testament to the Diputación de Ourense’s unwavering commitment to excellence in thermal wellness. We are excited about the opportunity that this innovation represents for our industry and for those seeking the highest quality wellness”.

This launch at Termatalia-Uruguay demonstrates Raia Termal’s prominent position in the wellness industry, leaving an impression that will last and mark a significant milestone in the development of modern thermalism.

The objective of the program was to create a network of cooperation between Ourense and northern Portugal to enhance the thermal wealth of this environment, putting in value joint management and marketing initiatives to create a single border thermal destination, contributing to the development of quality tourism in the area. And, as it was analyzed in the closing day, held in Melgaço, it seems that this objective has been achieved. For the president of the Deputation of Ourense, the results of this project show “that we know how to work together and value the territory, at a time of new economic opportunities through European funds, but that they are nothing if there is no ability to formulate initiatives like this”. So much so that Manuel Baltar already slips the possibility of a second project Raia Termal “that enhances what is ours, as the thermalism” and should be called, as he points out, “Dous destinations, a country” because “I consider that we are a unique country”.

As for the results of the program, the project director, Manuel González, explained that works such as the recovery of river areas affected by sewage in Baños de Riocaldo (Lobios) or the Regato da Pousa in Muiños were executed; natural areas that complement the leisure offer associated with thermal tourism were enhanced, such as the Bande motorhome area, the signaling of the Cortegada thermal route, the construction of a pedestrian walkway on the Caldo river and a bicycle path in Lobios; the water line at the do Peso thermal baths was cleaned, subway containers were installed in Melgaço and environmental recovery and access to the Gerês river in Terras do Bouro was undertaken.
