Spa Trends 2008

For those of us in the business, SpaFinder.com, the global spa resource, has been a staple in the spa world for years.  It is a fabulous tool for anyone in the business as well as people looking for a local spa, a get away spa or anything in between.  For the past 5 years, SpaFinder has posted their Annual Spa Trends Report that "forecasts the innovations and ideas that will shape the world of spas in 2008."

Spas, as well as the services they sell, seem to becoming more integrated and cater the one stop shopper.  With the popularity of the Medical Spa (comprehensive medical and wellness care), it is easy to see how this trend could be catching on.
