Abstract

In this article we analyze the particularities of the balneal tourism in Romania. Since antiquity, balneal treatments have occupied a place in the therapeutic arsenal of both "scientific" and traditional medicine. Time span and technological progress in the medical sciences did fail to diminish the significance of balneotherapy. Even this treatment has improved, tainted with very precise indications and contraindications, which did enriched using new procedures, and gained a scientific foundation. Over the time, Romania has an important economic development due to tourism, thus being able to rank among the most valuable tourist areas in our country. Parallel to this, the number of spa resorts and mineral water springs has increased and the spa facilities have improved. Significant is the fact that around them a real hotel industry was structured and that unknown rural settlements turned into balneotherapy resorts, elegant, in which all the tourist props have found a great potential for development.
