The key factors of success and criteria for sustainability were to be found in order to help the local decision-makers in their attempts to create a strategy for the development of health tourism. As a part of a large research project the current paper describes the results of a qualitative survey of 21 interviews with mayors, spa managers, and hotel managers, to represent general tourism supply to identify the impacts of health tourism developments on the...

Health tourism is one of the main development areas of tourism in Hungary. Health tourism development projects may initiate orders to the construction industry, preserve jobs, create new value and new jobs, and the multiplier effect may be beneficial for small and medium size enterprises in the surroundings of the investments.

In Hungary health consciousness relates to people's will and their financial and social circumstances. At present the health care system offers consumers the opportunity for recovery and prevention both in private and public health facilities. Due to financing problems there is a great difference between the two types; health care professionals do their best to overcome difficulties, but in many cases mere expertise is not enough. Long waiting times and services unsubsidised by health funds try the patience of both the taxpayers and the medical personnel. Stress, the accelerated lifestyle and the economic situation can equally be blamed for the development...

For more than six decades researchers, scholars and agricultural advisors have tried to implement modeling and information systems in the farming sector through out the world. Until today however, their success has been rather limited. Thereby, Germany is no exception. This is true, allthough a sophisticated farm management is more important for German farmers than ever before. The fast changing envitronment, including difficult market conditions and a high exposure to financial risks are major reasons. Farm Management Information Systems (FMIS) appear to be a powerful tool to deal with the new conditions. However, farmers still rely more on their...

Nowadays civilian organisations have become unavoidable for the Vojvodina Hungarian society. A constantly improving civilian society has developed since the early 1990's, which is making its voice heard in every segment of life now. In the past years, politics and state administration have also recognised this fact; therefore they increasingly rely on civil society.There have been very few scientific or possibly integrated thoughts - collective works published about the development, results and problems of the Vojvodina Hungarian civil society for the past two decades. Practically, there was no an official strategic document prepared so far, except...
