WELLNESS, HOT SPRINGS, RECREATION AND TOURISM. THE VALPOLICELLA: AN EXAMPLE OF AN AREA WITH INTEGRATED AND INTEGRABLE RESOURCES 
Verona, a Province with major tourism potential, forms part of a Region that already contains numerous Local Tourist Systems, more recent Theme-based Tourist Systems, 5 tourist districts – including a thermal one – and one Tourist Metadistrict. This paper aims to deal with the theme of “localhubs and systems for integrated wellness-oriented tourism”, researching the paradigm of wellness in an area – the cultural region of Valpolicella – in which in recent times the use of hot spring water has always been channelled solely towards the “spa” industry. By studying/comparing two establishments in the Verona area (Villa Quaranta Park Hotel and Aquardens - Le Terme di Verona at Pescantina) we will seek to analyse the wellness phenomenon in a region that offers a plethora of tourist resources that are integrated with each other and that can also be supplemented with spa facilities.
