No European country can boast of greater reserves of natural warm water than Hungary. Thermal water lies under almost three quarters of the national territory. A little of this water reaches the surface naturally in the form of warm springs, while the rest can be tapped simply by sinking wells to depths between 500 and 2,000 metres. To exploit this unrivalled natural wealth, a team of Hungarian specialists proposes the establishment of a network of thermal water resorts and an cillary facilities to meet the de mands of Hungarians and for eigners seeking relaxation and therapy.
The author of this book, a British economist and international ex pert in physical planning, was commissioned by the United Nations. His aim has been to give a brief account of the planning studies for the development of recreation and tourism based on thermal water, carried out with UNDP assistance, and of the perspective, medium-term and pilot plans prepared during the Project.
