Delos and WTS announce strategic alliance
Delos, the company behind the Well Building Standard™, has announced an alliance with WTS International (WTS), the global consultancy which designs and manages spa, wellness and fitness facilities. Together, they’ll collaborate to integrate Delos’ standards into facilities designed by WTS.
The Well Building Standard™ is a construction framework based on seven design categories such as clean air, water and light. It includes things like shielding from electromagnetic fields and circadian lighting.
Delos is already in several leisure verticals. In hotels, it’s developed the Stay Well™ experience, a healthy hotel room concept. Early adopter MGM Grand in Las Vegas has seen a 30 per cent uplift in room rates for its Stay Well™ rooms.
The alliance will see concepts developed by Delos being introduced into facilities such as spas and fitness centres. Alfredo Carvajal, COO of WTS told Spa Opportunities: “Delos’ Stay Well™ hotel room is becoming the gold standard for healthy hotels and the expansion of this concept into areas like fitness and spa is exciting – imagine a spa that starts enhancing your health as you walk through the door.”
Delos founder, Paul Scialla, said: “Delos is expanding its clientele and this alliance with WTS will enhance that expansion in hospitality and leisure. WTS has seen an increased demand for new, authentic health offerings and Delos’ solutions will meet that demand and lead to additional growth for both companies.”
Gary Henkin, founder and CEO of WTS, said: “We’re working together to enhance the guest experience across the entire leisure industry, working with Delos will allow us to serve our clients in an innovative way.”
