Piscina Barcelona will exhibit a complete wellness centre

The international show Piscina Barcelona will showcase a complete wellness centre as part of the Wellness and Spa Experiences Event, from 15 - 18 October.

In an area dedicated to the wellness sector, the showroom will house the equipment, infrastructures and services found in a professional facility.

At 400sq m in size, this space will be divided into five main areas in accordance with the current European requisites: reception, changing rooms, relaxation space, dry zone and wet/water zone. This last zone will feature an active swimming pool that will include water beds, waterfalls, mixed bubbles (air and water) and water jets.

It will also have two spas (cold and hot), a shower temple, a foot spa, a sauna, a steam bath and thermal loungers.

The dry zone will house four individual cabins for health relaxation and beauty treatments and a double suite with direct access to the special couple's spa, very popular among users, who wish to share the wellness experience, as well as a full portfolio of treatments.

In this space created for the event there will be a team of therapists and a spa manager, led by Jean-Eric Knecht, president and co-founder of Elegance Group, who will take visitors on guided tours and explain the benefits of the use of facilities, treatments and their correct applications in a wellness centre.

The team will also share their know-how and experience in the operational management of wellness centres, one of the key factors in making a business profitable.

Moreover, an advisor from Eurofin Hospitality Consulting will offer personalised guidance to visitors who have doubts or questions about the viability plan of their wellness project.

At the Wellness and Spa Experiences Event, leading experts and specialists from the wellness industry will reveal the trends and innovations, explaining ideas and solutions in the design, management and marketing of wellness establishments.

Thanks to the exposition of practical cases and successful models endorsed by renowned industry experts, it will feature a networking space for professionals who wish to establish relations and cooperation agreements with sector leaders.

Registration can be made online here
