How to develop an award winning spa
By Dean Fox
What makes an award winning spa? Fabulous facilities, terrific treatments and therapists, wonderful water and heat areas and a first-class service? Or is it a tranquil environment which transports its guests far from the distractions of modern life? How can you develop a spa which is not only award winning but generates significant profit too?
Two of the industry’s most respected spa directors give an insight into their own spa success secrets at this year’s Spa Conference.
With a string of award wins behind her, Cathy Ball, Spa Director of both Calcot Spa and The Garden Spa at Barnsley House shows how you can make your own spa the best in its category. Joining Cathy will be Don Genders from Design for Leisure, a market leader in cutting edge design, manufacturing and installation of hydrothermal experiences.
With 30 spa locations nationwide, Bannatyne’s Justin Musgrove will talk about how to integrate spa into your leisure operations for optimum profit.
Tickets for the UKs newest and largest Spa Conference which takes place on Wednesday 10th November 2010 at Center Parcs, Sherwood Forest are available from www.spaconference.co.uk or contact Mike on 08707 804490 or email [email protected]
