A brainstorming meeting aiming to enhance the capacity of the health tourism took place in NNFTRI on 14.01.2024.  Notable attendees included health experts and managing directors of the agencies active in the field of health tourism, the head of the nutrition and diet therapy clinic, and the head of the office for international affairs of NNFTRI. The meeting started with a brief introduction of the NNFTRI, followed by explaining available capacities in the areas of education, research, and services related to diet therapy and healthy lifestyle. The attendees were informed about the wide range of resources available at the institute and within the Faculty of Nutrition Sciences and Food Technology. Given the significant role of nutrition in the prevention and management of chronic diseases, the NNFTRI’s nutrition and diet therapy clinic was introduced as an appealing opportunity to attract health tourists. The capacity of virtual nutrition counseling and diet therapy was introduced as another opportunity in this field. Furthermore, Dr. Ghodsi, the head of the office for international affairs of NNFTRI, proposed that the NNFTRI and Faculty of Nutrition Sciences and Food Technology could conduct comprehensive and tailored workshops on promoting healthy lifestyles and nutrition. These workshops could be conducted either virtually or in person, and would be opened to international participants. The inclusivity of such opportunities was highly appreciated by the attendees.
