Abstract
Geothermal energy resources have been used several thousand years ago for many purposes, but mainly for health and wellness treatments. Many hot springs have come and gone over time, yet many are still unrevealed and unused. The aim of the paper is to put some insights into new and less-known geothermal locations dispersed over the territory of North Macedonia, along with their potential for developing new spa tourism resorts. Based on a content analysis of various documents related to geothermal energy, the research applied the expert’s judgment and proposed a map presenting new geothermal resources. As such, new potential for more extended spa tourism occurs, which may be successfully implemented for developing modern and attractive tourist locations. Finally, the paper suggests many recommendations for better understanding the complexity of the power that geothermal energy has, but only if been adequately implemented in planning the spa tourism development.
