The Australasian Spa Association (ASpa) announced the winners of its 2014 Awards of Excellence at the end of the annual ASpa Conference on 28 October at the Langham Hotel in Melbourne.
More than 20 finalists were recognised as industry leaders and a total of 13 winners were celebrated at the Moroccan-themed Gala Dinner that closed the two-day event looking at “Global Spa and Wellness – Inspiration, Wisdom, Practice.”
