Il Tar: “Terme solo se l’acqua è termale”

🛀 A ruling by the Lazio Regional Administrative Court has established that only wellness centers using "thermal waters with recognized therapeutic efficacy" can be called "spas". The judgment follows an appeal by Terme e Grandi Alberghi di Sirmione Spa after the Antitrust Authority archived a report of 'unfair commercial practice' against QC Terme for using the term 'spa' improperly. The Antitrust Authority must now reopen the case, adhering to the court's principles. President Giacomo Gnutti emphasizes the importance of therapeutic recognition of thermal waters and transparency towards consumers.
