Cost ‐ benefit considerations for spa treatments, illustrated by the Dead Sea and Arad, Israel

Abstract

Economic studies of tourism are usually concerned with the cost to the tourist and the receipts of the tourism industry and destination. The benefits to the tourist in terms of his health and cultural enrichment and working capacity are usually considered important, but not quantified. Assistance with the cost of some holidays may be provided as Social Tourism in Welfare States, usually without evaluating their benefits.
