WHY CONSIDER A SPA VACATION
Facing the challenges of everyday life while keeping a healthy body and mind isn't easy. A spa vacation, provided it is well adapted to your needs, can be an ideal remedy that will yield long-lasting results. THis type of holiday is where the cruise industry was ten years ago, according to predictions from The International Spa and Fitness Association (I/SPA). As it adapts to new societal trends, the industry promises to become one of the fastest growing segments of the travel industry as we enter the 21st century.
Growing Popularity
The number of locations have grown phenomenaly in recent years, showing that this is becoming increasingly popular among travelers.
Health and Fitness Trend
The success is linked to a growing awareness about health, especially among the aging baby boomers that want to stay fit, young, attractive, and often have the income to do it. More people are also becoming aware that the answer to a healthier self is based on a long-term commitment to exercise, a low-fat diet and stress reduction. In that context, spas have become wellness centers that educate people on achieving healthy goals.
More Men Getting Hooked
As fitness programs and outdoor activities take up a greater share of the spa experience, more men (about 20 percent at destination spas) are booking spa vacations.
New Aspirations
As we enter the post-industrial era, many people feel the need to turn away from consumerism and seek spiritual fulfillment. The spa industry has picked up on that trend, offering meditation and yoga classes, spiritual awareness workshops and serene settings favorable to introspection.
More SPAS to choose from
Not only have spas gained in popularity, they now offer more diversity. The spa industry is moving towards providing the spa experience in different settings. I/SPA predicts a big growth not only in destination spas, but also in resort spas, spas at hotels, day spas in urban centers, and cruise spas.
Beyond The rich and famous
In terms of pricing, spa vacations are still perceived as upscale and costly, but this is somewhat of a myth. On the surface, most spas appear pricey. If one thinks of it as a room rate, it seems expensive, but in reality, spa packages are all inclusive. In fact, per person rates for a complete spa program can range from as much as 0 per night to as little as per night, meals included.
