Dramatically high overheads: this thermal spa operates on a limited basis
As autumn and colder weather is coming soon, thanks to the government’s decision, overheads will be much higher for many of us than what we are used to. Now, more and more institutions and facilities are deciding either to close or to operate on a limited basis to save money on overheads. Read below for more details.
As we reported, one of Budapest’s – and Hungary’s – main universities, ELTE is considering closing its Faculty of Sciences for half a year and switch to online teaching for that period. The reason is that this is the faculty which has been operating with the highest overheads and the dean is forced to cut them in the near future.
Some services are put on hold in Martfű Termal Spa
The rise in energy costs is also placing a significant burden on the country’s spas and baths. The extent of this has now reached a level that makes the day-to-day operation of these facilities difficult. This week, the director of Martfű Termal Spa, László Tomasovszky, announced the discontinuation of some of their services.
As we can read on the thermal hotel’s website, electricity prices have jumped from HUF 19.2/kWh (EUR 0,049) to HUF 200/kWh (EUR 0.51) in just eight months, and gas prices have increased sevenfold. The hotel tries to avoid making their spa fees unaffordable in the long term. However, because of this, some of their services are suspended or limited in time.
What services will be limited and what services will stay?
For example, the spa will indefinitely suspend the massage services in the thermal pools, the sauna in the swimming pool area, shorten the opening hours of the spa and temporarily close some of the thermal pools.
Weekend opening hours and the range of services may differ from weekdays, writes termalonline.hu. Changes to service charges will be decided at a later date. Martfű Thermal Spa has no plans to reduce the range of medical treatments at the moment.
