Summary/Abstract: Both at national and international level,medical tourism in general and the therapeutic in particular tend to be more and more often prescribed and utilized as an extremely efficient alternative therapeutic practice in treating various medical affections with almost the same positive results as the ones obtained after therapies/treatments under medication,but with fewer financial resources. Vatra Dornei resort owns a great diversity regarding both natural therapeutic factors (climateric, mineral, hydromineral, pedologic therapeutic factors, moffettes, aerosols,etc.) and the spectrum of affections treated (from simple anaemia to complex disease of the locomotory, muscular system,etc.). Practiced since the 19th century,medical tourism (which turned Vatra Dornei resort into a “Meca of recovering”) has represented and continues to represent at present an important attraction factor for the tourists who choose to spend their holidays for recovering and maintaining health state.
