It’s a great time to get into the spa industry! According to the International Spa Association (ISPA), the spa business is looking good and only getting better. If you’re thinking about becoming a spa manager, spa director, or spa owner, here are just a few of the reasons why it’s a great time to do it!
The ISPA released its last spa business report in August 2006 and they found some very positive statistics. In the United States alone, there were nearly 14,000 spas doing business, up 16% since 2004. In 2005 the spa industry reported nearly $10 billion in annual revenues, up nearly $3 billion since 2003. In 2005 there were 131 million spa visits, up 22 million visits in two years!
So, what does this mean for you? It means that the spa business is doing great and rapidly increasing, making the need for spa management stronger than ever. In 2006 there were over 267,000 spa employees, an increase of more than 52,000 spa employees from 2004. That’s five hundred new spa jobs each week! That number is only going to grow, so now’s the time to get into spa management because the future looks very bright indeed!
