This study summarises the specifics of the newly accredited Wellness &amp; Spa programs at the National Sports Academy \u201cV. Levski\u201d. The innovations are financially supported by the Bulgarian Heritage BG Centre of Excellence. Under the priority axis 1 \u201cResearch and Technological Development\u201d, a scientific bridge was established to implement the European policy \u201chealthy lifestyle for everyone\u201d. Through the education of specialised personnel, our team gained insights on how Bulgarian Niche tourism can improve the quality of services in the Wellness &amp; Spa sector. By identifying the specific professional competencies, the scientific team at NSA \u201cV. Levski\u201d developed innovative educational programs for new jobs to meet the needs of the Niche tourism business. The analysis of the development of professional knowledge and skills led to improved higher quality services and interdisciplinary education.
