Water is the common thread and attraction factor of the tourism facilities called "spas", which are part of health and beauty services. Spa use is currently experiencing a boom that reflects changes in populations, such as an increase in economic wellbeing and a desire to reunite with nature. This research's objectives were to understand spa tourism's structural and operational dimensions and to assess this sector's current situation by using the Delphi method with a panel of 22 experts. The results show that these experts believe that, in Andalusia, spas energize the area as a tourism destination through their natural resources and conservation of key elements. However, spa development policies are scarce, including a lack of autonomous community laws regarding these facilities.
水是被称为“温泉浴场”的旅游设施的共同纽带和吸引力因素，它们是健康和美容服务的一部分。温泉浴场的使用目前正在经历一场热潮，反映了人口的变化，如经济福祉的增加和与自然重新融合的愿望。本研究的目的是了解温泉旅游的结构和运营维度，并通过德尔菲法对一个由 22 名专家组成的小组评估该行业的现状。结果表明，这些专家认为，在安达卢西亚，温泉浴场通过其自然资源和关键要素的保护，为该地区作为旅游目的地注入了活力。然而，温泉开发政策稀缺，包括缺乏关于这些设施的自治区法律。
