Anotace: 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.
