responsible institutions. A series of measures aimi
ng for the development of this sector were
taken, and member countries were encouraged to do t
he same. In terms of SPA tourism, the
recommended decisions to be made at European level
are: involvement of the insurance
companies for the development of SPA tourism, the u

treatments for the general public.
The presence in the Vâlcea Subcarpathians of a cons

sources has facilitated the emergence of SPA resort
s on one hand, and on the other hand the
development of this important segment of the region
al economy.
This paper aims to highlight the importance and the
potential of SPA tourism in this
region, as well as the role of the above mentioned s
ources in the emergence and development of
resorts. The author outlined, in the same time, the
main shortcomings and opportunities of the
capitalization of SPA tourism from Vâlcea Subcarpat
hians. |
