SpaMeeting: a ‘not-to-miss’ event in the spa world

Bringing together leading buyers and high quality suppliers over two days is a challenge, and SpaMeeting has succeeded in rising to this challenge for several years.

The 2014 series of events concludes with SpaMeeting Middle East in Abu Dhabi in December. This highly anticipated meeting “represents the best event in the spa world in the Middle East” says Juliette Blanzy, director of the SpaMeeting events. Its position as a leader makes way for different players to enter this sector “through the front door”. The most influential decision makers of the spa and hotel industry look forward to finding and discovering striking new and exclusive brands at the event.

The Middle East event follows on from the successful SpaMeeting Europe, which was held in Dubrovnik, Croatia, from 30 September to 1 October. Sponsored by the Italian group Lemi, it took place at the Radisson Blu, with participants enjoying an atmosphere that was studious and at the same time relaxed, with a breathtaking view of the Adriatic ocean.

“All the buyers were present,” comments Blanzy, “they were enthusiastic about the presence of new suppliers like Elemis, Comfort Zone, Anne Semonin, Corpoderm, Deco Candles, Foreo, Icoone, Aquademy, Roberti Rattan, Electro Medical System and Novelastic.” Over the course of the meetings, SpaMeeting has been able to maintain buyer interest thanks to offering the latest updates that cannot be found anywhere else, and thanks to the loyal participation of renowned companies such as Tylo, Pevonia, Lemi, Thalion, Camylle and RKF.

The exceptional range of buyers, such as Oetker Hotel Management, Raison d’être Spas, Four Seasons, Richmond Nua Wellness Spa, The Beresford Clinic, De Vere Hotels, and Deep Nature, once again benefited from professional meetings with top suppliers. And this time, the event surpassed European borders with the presence of Japanese, Israeli and American participants.

Looking to next year, Blanzy says 2015 “will be a year full of great surprises”. “Asia is a market that we cannot ignore, and SpaMeeting will be there to bring businesses into this flourishing market, whilst maintaining its leadership position in the Middle East and Europe.”

SpaMeeting Middle East will be held in Abu Dhabi, UAE between 10-11 December. For more information, please click here.
