I'm trying to explain and understand the variety on offer in a hotel with spa in an area with a natural healing resource spa, which looks like this:

- The hotel is recommended as being suitable for people requiring treatment for osteo-articular conditions

- For those who practice maintenance / wellness tourism and want an intimate hotel

- For those who want rest

- Athletes for recovery

- But also to celebrate festive events

- Last but not least for conferences, teambuilding, incentives.

It seems that no one has been left out, and the offer is not singular, unfortunately, and this recipe of providing everything for everyone is being tried by most. For simplicity's sake, I suggest we just go to the spa.

What do we find there? The treatment offer is as follows:

– Hydrotherapy, i.e. baths with thermal water in pools but also in tubs, herbal baths, subacval shower etc

- procedures specific to classical physiotherapy - electrophysiotherapy

- kinetotherapy is on offer twice: kinetotherapy in pools with thermal water and waterfalls and kinetotherapy simply kinetotherapy

- elongations

- aromatherapy (reinvented I would say, because besides oil massages are added herbal baths and relaxing gymnastics at this point)

- massage therapy - meaning: general and partial massage, relaxing and invigorating.

- The last offer on the list is Wellness, meaning: again massage, hydromassage complex, sauna, thermal baths with herbal infusions and hydrotherapy.

- Somewhere, on the main presentation page, it is also mentioned: treatments with Aslavital and Gerovital are available for tourists. I think this point refers to those who practice maintenance tourism.

Me, I'm speechless. I'm trying to pull myself together and put things in order. Gentlemen hoteliers, natural healing resources were discovered thousands of years ago and are equally recognized and appreciated today. Correct. The spa has evolved over the years. Where are we today? In Europe, where, it's true, the focus is more on medical wellness treatments that improve overall health and well-being, in contrast to American spas, those in Asia or Japan, where the focus is mainly on stress relief and beautification. Everyone recognizes the positive effects after each use of natural healing resources.

These resources can be offered:

- in a treatment centre, which implies a certain environment: specialized medical staff, medical procedures, etc., and which will be sought by users suffering from various ailments

- or in a more relaxed environment where treatments are offered that can make use of the same natural resources: thermal waters, salt, mud, herbs, etc., without requiring medical supervision, and which will be hunted by users who are looking to feel good and maintain their health.

All you have to do is decide one way or the other. You'll see how everything simplifies, even the path to a higher income.
