In 1913, more than 37,000 patients visited the Caucasian Mineral Waters. During this period, however, there were no medical institutions and the first sanatoriums only started to appear at the beginning of the 20th century.
During the Civil War, the place fell into decay. Only 7,000 people visited to cure their illnesses in 1922. However, in 1928, the number of patients increased to 90,000 people. During the Second World War, more than 900,000 wounded and sick people got medical treatment here.
By the year 1980, eighty-two sanatoriums and sixteen guesthouses were available for tourists. Nowadays, every year about one million people come here to get treatment.
