Definition

  • Spas dedicated to the promotion of health and well-being are found across the world. Originally their function was based on therapeutic and pleasurable usage of thermal and mineral springs for bathing and drinking; they now are highly commercialized institutions playing a key role in tourism around the world, a subject that is still underresearched.
