Close to this region in Turkey, Izmir and Balikesir Balcova Ilıcası much more simple, such as health resorts facilities occupancy rate, ongoing throughout the year. And they have contributed much to the country's economy.

Proposed alternative project set in the east and west until the impermeable bedrock layer of concrete to be injected. Curtain wall and method of bracing Allianoi remain under water will be prevented. This spa via a tunnel north of the dam to the pond water will be provided. If this project, if applicable, thermae hill north of the tourist facilities in a purpose by making the congress, culture, health, and with the extraordinary congress for a complex facility can be obtained.
