Abstract

Health tourism is an area with an extensive history in Europe, being dependent on the natural resources from the area where it takes place and on the existence of potential curing factors. The main resource that is used in this field is water, which can be used in various forms. It can be used in the treatment of many diseases for prophylaxis or for maintaining the welfare of tourists. One of the European countries that are characterized by the abundance of resources that can be used in health tourism is Romania. The main advantage of this is that a single resort can treat many illnesses, but that infrastructure modernization delayed to be made resulting in a poor positioning of the destinations in Europe, despite the history, experience and renowned resorts such as Baile Herculane.
