Enjoy the Spa Lifestyle

Now you can enjoy the spa lifestyle close to home and on the road, any time your mind, body and spirit demand to be nurtured, pampered, rejuvenated, refreshed, recharged....

No more excuses. You may be thinking, "I don't have a week or even a few days to get away," but today, spa services and programs are easily found any time you want and need them. Wherever you reside and wherever your travels take you, a soothing moment to yourself is always close at hand. Day spas are emerging in large metropolitan areas, suburbs and shopping malls. They may be stand-alone facilities, part of a bustling city hotel, connected to a health club, allied with a one-stop wellness center or an adjunct to medical facilities such as rehabilitation centers, dermatology clinics, plastic surgeons, chiropractors or even complementary medicine practitioners.

This directory will guide you to day spa facilities that take their business seriously and are committed to bringing you the best services and products that the spa industry has to offer. The Day Spa Association has established a set of guidelines to help you recognize what to expect from a day spa.

On behalf of our members, I thank you for your support and interest, and hope to see you soon in one of our many member spas.

Spafully,

Hannelore R. Leavy,
Executive Director

THE ASIAN CHAPTER

The development of the Spa Industry in Asia is spectacular. Supported by strong global demand for Spa Holidays and Services as well as efforts of the many countries promoting Spa Tourism and Medical Spas, the Asian Spa Industry is experiencing high double digit growth throughout the region.

The Rapid development of the industry has generated enormous amount of business opportunities for Spa Operators, their suppliers and peripheral industries as well as jobs and career options for skilled workers and professionals. On the other hand, fast growth and more players have created strong competition. Some Asian Spa companies have developed strong business domains, rapidly expanding across the region while others are still trying to find their market niche.

Faced with increased competition, more demanding consumers, changing trends, newer technology, products and treatments, marketing and management tools innovations, the Day Spa Owners and Managers are challenged to excel in order to succeed.

The Day Spa Association is dedicated to providing the platform and resources to facilitate the business development of its members.
