Abstract

The spa industry is a booming business that is growing in popularity and profitability, and the outlook for the future is promising. The Republic of North Macedonia is a country with about 60 springs of mineral water that has eight thermal baths, from which two are currently not in operation. When comparing with some European countries, it can be seen that in Serbia there are more than 50 baths and more than 1000 springs, of which about 500 springs of cold and hot mineral water as well as an abundance of mineral mud. According to the number of overnight stays and arrivals, spas are leading tourist destinations in Serbia. In Croatia, unfortunately spa tourism is poorly developed taking that Croatia faces the Adriatic Sea (which is one of the calmest and clearest in the Mediterranean) and is the main tourist attraction in the country. Spa tourism is the most developed in Hungary where there are more than 100 spring of mineral water, currently there are 230 thermal baths. In Slovenia, one of the most developed forms of tourism is spa tourism. There are 87 thermal water springs with different properties and temperature (from 32 to 73 degrees Celsius).
