Abstract

The natural healing waters of the Slovak Republic are known for their uniqueness and rich content of healing mineral compounds. The aim of the article is to identify and apply indicators of sustainable tourism to the development of spa tourism using selected statistical methods. The data will be analyzed and synthesized based on the available annual reports of spa companies in Slovakia. The result of the article is to determine, through correlation and regression, the dependence of selected indicators of sustainable tourism on the gross added value of tourism focused on spa tourism. Based on the results, we found that the selected indicators of the sustainable development of spa tourism have statistical significance depending on the GDP of Slovakia. Overnight stays in spa establishments in the Slovak Republic have the greatest impact on GDP.
