According to figures released by Intelligent Spas, an independent research company, Australia’s spa industry is currently in a period of transition.

Between July 2002 and July 2003 in Australia, the overall number of spa visits increased by 5.5 per cent to 2.11m.

But, as new spas are constantly entering the market and existing salons have been upgrading their facilities, the increase in offerings saw the average visits per spa plummet by a whopping 28 per cent. Details: www.intelligentspas.com or + 65 6248 4736
