Spa in Russia and in the world
M. Kuchurkina (director of Noncommercial partnership National Guild of Spa Experts)

Standards and criteria for wellness hotels in Hungary

Andrea Segeri (Tourism office of Hungary, Moscow).

Hungary ranks among 5 top countries of the world rich in thermal waters. There is probably a wealth of healing springs under its surface: wherever one begins to drill holes, thermal water which temperature is more than 30 degrees or the healing one saturated with salt or minerals erupts.
The report is devoted to the criteria of wellness hotels in Hungary and the requirements of decree regulating them.
