It used to be that visiting a day spa or going to a resort spa was reserved only for the rich and famous. Fortunately, those days are gone and today just about everyone is taking a well-deserved break from the stresses of everyday life by going to the local day spa for a quick fix or taking a long, romantic vacation at the resort spa. This is good news for the spa industry because due to this rapidly increasing demand for spa services, spa locations across America are growing at unprecedented rates.
According to the International Spa Association’s (ISPA) 2006 spa industry study of growth and revenues, the number of new spa locations opening up across America is exploding. In April 2004, there were 10,128 spa locations, but by August 2006 there were 13,757 spas. This shows an annual 16% increase in spas operating throughout the United States. That’s approximately 130 new spas opening up every single month over a 28 month period! Out of those total spas, 80% were day spas, 9% were resort spas, and 7% were medical spas. So, if you’ve been waiting to get into the spa business, don’t because now is the time to do it!
