Abstract

Noneconomic activities involve social work and social protection that besides health care take special care of individuals as members of the society. Rehabilitation and recreation funded by the Pension and Disability Fund and the Republic Fund for Health Insurance fall within such activities. The funds are financed mainly from the budget of the Republic of Serbia, reflecting the impact of global economic crisis, thus the allotted funds for rehabilitation and recreation are affected in the same way. The question arises about the size and form of such impact on the system resembling communicating vessels and also its reflection on the social function of spa/climatic resorts, and spa tourism indirectly on the territory of the Republic of Serbia. Statistical method of correlation was applied to data on annual series for the period 2008-2012, which covered the time prior, during and after the global economic crisis.
