GEOTOUR & IRSE 2012
The current research focused on the combined program of hydrotherapy, climate therapy and
movement therapy launched and carried out by the Faculty of Healthcare. The target was to
measure the efficiency of complex physiotherapy on degenerative spine diseases when applying
objective and subjective data. According to the data this combination has positive effect on the
physiotherapy, physiology and somatometric parameters examined. (improvements could be
observed in Delmas-index, in the size of skin flaps, chest mobility, apnoa time, lateral flexion, in
the breathing function and walk test) (Juhász E. et al. 2010).
Miskolctapolca Cavebath provides a unique cave climate and together with the humidity in the air
and the thermal water have positive effect on respiratory diseases.
Today natural therapies have become fairly popular in the whole world. Miskolctapolca Cave Bath
can provide complex therapy facilities which are unique in Europe. During speleotherapy recovery
is ensured by the inhalation of cave air. Thermal water contributes to the recovery through its
physical and chemical composition, where many different movement exercises can be done. The
esthetic sight of the cave bath itself contributes to the psychosomatic balance needed for recreation.

CONCLUSION
With regard to our results, we can state that health tourism developments should be connected to
complex programs and investments. The innovative services should be given an important role
together with mapping the opportunities of local economic development and the potential
networking. In addition, the characteristics of clusters and regions might be defined intensifying the
impact of health tourism on tourism in this subregion.
