A Szent Erzsébet Mórahalmi Gyógyfürdő helyi gazdaságfejlesztési szerepének értékelése

Abstract

Mórahalom is one of the municipalities of Hungary which have undergone significant or, one could even say, unique progress in recent decades, typically in the last 15-20 years. In response to the newly emerging and unfolding needs, the town has been able to reconsider its existing assets, mainly its natural endowments (primarily thermal water), and to utilise them through conscious decisions and steps in order to boost the local economy and improve the residents’ quality of life. The tourist attractiveness of Mórahalom is fundamentally built around the spa, which has become the basis for local developments in the past decade and a half or two decades. As a result of the implemented and ongoing developments, the town can present to the public a tourism product offer that generates a significant amount of tourist flow increasing year by year, and thus creates new workplaces and additional income in the local economy.
