Spa Trend Analysis 2011: Hyper-local Spas

Tuesday, December 6, 2011

I was thinking the other day that the spa industry has done one thing exceedingly well – better than many other sectors such as hotels and restaurants for example.  Spas have from the very beginning – partially because of their nature – incorporated indigenous treatments, cuisine, and programming into their offerings. This has served the industry well and... »

Spa Trend Analysis 2011: The Science of Spa

Monday, December 5, 2011

This, our sixth spa trend prediction, was realized with the May launch of www.spaevidence.com at the Global Spa Summit in Bali.  The Science of Spa now has an entire website dedicated to exactly what was needed – a way for people to find the medical evidence that supports (or, in some cases doesn’t... »

Sunday, December 4, 2011

The 5th spa trend we forecast was “Deals Gone Wild” and 2011 was clearly the year of the deal.  You’ll notice in the write up that our prediction was totally lined up with what Barron’s said recently “consumers who are bombarded daily with coupon offers from Groupon and its rivals could be coming down with “deal... »

Spa Trend Analysis 2011: The Spa Brandwagon

Thursday, December 1, 2011

Our  4th SpaFinder Spa Trend prediction for 2011 was one we called The Spa Brandwagon .  I am going to give ourselves an A for that call as it truly played out that way all year.  It used to be that we would see mostly one-of-a-kind spas.  Now we are seeing multiple spas of the... »

Spa Trend Analysis 2011: Salt Rooms and Salt Caves

Wednesday, November 30, 2011

Salt Rooms and Salt Caves was the third trend we predicted for 2011.  I’m giving us a B grade for this one.  We are seeing more salt rooms being added to resort spas (which seems to be the most economically viable way to go) and since our prediction, the number of salt therapy spas in the... »

Spa Trend Analysis 2011: All Eyes on Asia

Tuesday, November 29, 2011

The second trend we forecast for 2011 was called “All Eyes on Asia.”  Boy -were we ever right-on with this one!  If anything, I think we underestimated how large this trend will become. Looking through my bi-weekly Spa Opportunities newsletters that highlight spa openings all over the world, there is no doubt that Asia is where it is happening.  And the... »
