the use of mineral resources, with all accompanying legal-property and technicalplanning documents, as well as the construction of required infrastructure.
The private partner shall perform reconstruction and construction of accommodation cpacities, construction of wellnes center and purchase of all required equipment.

business of the constructed capacities.
Market
The project involves activation of additional 150 beds intended for the local market
(City of Zrenjanin, Banat area and wider area of Belgrade), and after the initial
market positioning, the Spa could count on wider regional expansion (domestic
and international). High demand for services of Special hospital Rusanda,
which has a high level of capacity utilization even with a slightly lower quality of
accommodation – indicates the success of this project.
