Although for Tourism as a sector of Industry MONEY is the beginning and the 
end of the story, we must be aware that the situation is a little different with 
consumers. Marković and Mojze conclude: "Both phenomena - tourism and 
sport – were initiated for non-economic motives, and essentially the same ones. 
Although the conceptual forms are different, they can be reduced to the 
psychophysical recreation. As a rule, people do not go on tourist trips with 
economic motives for profit. They are not doing it to meet their economic, but 
rather health, recreation and cultural needs. "(1972.). 
The latest research and current market-value relations emphasize the economic 
importance of recreation and tourism, as the prominent author points out: "Sport 
Sector or so called Sports-industrial complex has become one of the top ten 
areas of capital and employment placement in the developed countries of 
Europe and America. Back in the year 1973 a turnover achieved in this sector in 
the U.S. reached three billion dollars. That sector of activities has the role of a 
propulsive factor in the further development of tourism, which, as it is known, 
allows the realization of hyper accumulated capital"... (Raič. A.1989).

is also every decision to stay in a spa, lay certain motives or reasons which drive 
us to make the decision. 
Recreation is an essential element of modern life and a very important program 
element of every, tourism, and especially spa tourism. Tourism Champion of 
Yugoslavia in the year 1990, Vrnjačka Spa, has incorporated into its range 
everything that is being required more and more: extensive repertoire of various 
events "100 performances in 100 days," it received a "sports pendant" - 
domestic and foreign athletes on preparations, which have led to international 
success, and with it, among other things, the media spectacle "Games without 
Frontiers". 
Not to leave out the information that apart from large swimming areas, 
landscaped walking paths and picnic areas, several tennis courts and a cute 
sports-recreational center "Paradise", in every accommodation facility of the 
Spa there is also something aimed for having fun and spending useful leisure 
time.
