Abstract

Apart from the treatment and psychophysical recovery of the users, the vital importance of the spa centers of Republika Srpska and Serbia as a form of tourist offer is reflected in their functioning throughout the year, unlike other forms of touristic offer. Based on previously conducted research, official statistics, and available adequate literature, as well as the excellent quality and quantity of thermal mineral waters in the spa centers of Republika Srpska and Serbia, the authors intend to point out the possibilities and the need for Russian investment in spa centers in the Republika Srpska and Serbia. Together with the intangible and material values of rich cultural heritage, primarily monasteries, spa centers can be the crown of the tourist offer focused exclusively on the Russian market, and the locomotive of economic development. According to the official statistical data of Rosstat, 30% of the inhabitants of Russia travel outside the borders of the country for vacation (43.8 million) and every tenth would like to come to the RS (4.38 million), with their minimum spending of 100 euros, Republika Srpska would generate revenue of 438 million euros. The government of Republika Srpska should allow Russian citizens to pay in rubles, and the status of the Russian ruble should be the same as the Serbian dinar. While spas with medicinal waters are dominantly in the Banja Luka region and Eastern RS, Herzegovina has exceptional "spiritual spas", birthplaces of St. Vasilij Ostroski, St. Sava, and Herzegovinian Serb poet-diplomat and academic Jovan Ducic. There are also monasteries Zavala, Tvrdos, Peter and Paul Monastery, and Kosierevo.
