The Global Spa & Wellness Summit (GSWS) is inviting all spa businesses and stakeholders to participate in an important global industry survey which will provide up-to-date and robust spa economy data, vital for effective benchmarking.

SRI International – the not-for-profit research organisation originally founded as Stanford Research Institute – led the landmark Global Spa Economy study presented in 2008 at the GSWS and will reprise that role this year. The new survey will provide the revised results required to compile the baseline for annual updates going forward. Participants must fill out their details by mid-July.

The survey, which takes approximately 10 minutes to complete, involves different kinds of spa stakeholders inputting details of their business interests in the spa industry. Examples of the stakeholders that can complete the survey are single location spas, spa consultants or training facilities, product suppliers, media companies, associations and spa management education institutions.

The information submitted is confidential and once the report is completed, participants will receive a copy by email.

As an added incentive for participation, GSWS has donated a complimentary pass to this year’s Summit in Marrakech, Morocco – between 10-12 September – which will be used as a raffle prize with a value of US$2,490 (€1,830, £1,467).
