A Spa Investment and Development Executive Programme will take place on 19-20 March at the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo in Japan.

Organised by the Asia Spa Institute, it is the third instalment in a series of executive development programmes.

The event will focus on a number of topics, including international and Japanese trends and investment and marketing opportunities.

A spokesperson for the Asia Spa Institute said: “The number of Japanese visiting spas and resorts around the world, coupled with the robust Japanese economy, have boosted the confidence of local investors, entrepreneurs and international hotels to invest in spas. “Our programme will set industry benchmarks and update the industry on spa trends in Japan and around the world.”
