Abstract
The main subject of the paper is the effective utilization of geothermal water in a resort with the potential for spa tourism, linked to the proposal of an investment strategy. The primary objective is to suggest new development options for the destination, with a particular focus on the sustainability of the geothermal source. Two models for economic investment in area reconstruction are presented before the final proposal. The first model assesses the investment's effectiveness based on the Net Present Value (NPV), while the second model examines hydrological risks (such as a decrease in source capacity, water volume, and heat sources). This involves monitoring changes in water volume and heat sources over several years. The article's outcome aims to highlight, through a case study, the considerations for spa tourism resorts and potential risks associated with investment decisions, particularly in the context of the exhaustibility, volume, and quality of the geothermal water source.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
