Toskanaworld

What Toskanaworld does

Toskanaworld AG is a German wellness and hospitality company headquartered in Bad Sulza, Thuringia, operating an integrated portfolio of three thermal spa facilities (Toskana Therme Bad Sulza, Bad Schandau, and Bad Orb), five hotels, a certified rehabilitation clinic (Klinikzentrum Bad Sulza), and the historic Ordensburg Liebstedt venue across the German states of Thuringia, Saxony, and Hesse. The company serves three primary customer groups: leisure wellness guests seeking multi-sensory thermal bathing and relaxation, medical rehabilitation patients in pneumology and orthopedics (covered by German statutory and private health insurance under DRV-approved programs), and corporate/event groups hosting conferences, weddings, and celebrations.

The company's signature technology is Liquid Sound®, a 30-year-old registered brand for underwater music and light immersion developed as an EXPO world project, paired with thermal pools fed by local mineral-rich brine (Sole/heilwasser). Complementary proprietary offerings include Liquid Bodywork® (underwater massage), Liquid Sweat Club (sauna-music fusion event), and the annual Liquid Sound Festival. The Klinikzentrum Bad Sulza delivers stationary and day-patient pneumology and orthopedic rehabilitation — its pneumology department is currently ranked #1 nationally by Deutsche Rentenversicherung (DRV). Hotels connect directly to thermal spas via robe walkways (Bademantelgang), and standard wellness services span massages, Ayurveda, beauty treatments, and moor applications.

Toskanaworld generates revenue through day-ticket spa admissions, hotel accommodation (with 3–5% online direct-booking discounts), insurance-reimbursed rehabilitation services, à la carte wellness treatments, event ticketing (Liquid Sound Festival and Liquid Sound Sommer Festival), gift voucher e-commerce via its dedicated shop (gutscheine.toskanaworld.net), and on-site gastronomy across five restaurants. Distribution is fully direct-to-consumer across wholly-owned properties with no franchise or reseller model; marketing runs through the corporate website, newsletter, social media (Facebook, YouTube), event programming, and formal partnerships with regional tourism boards (Thüringen Tourism, Bad Schandau Kur- und Tourismus GmbH, Bad Orb Marketing, Rhön Marketing). Pricing is unit-based with weekday/weekend differentials and multi-day arrangement packages.
