Independent research company Intelligent Spas was chosen as the premier research partner for the third annual Global Spa Summit (GSS), which took place in Switzerland last month.

The conference, that attracts high-end wellness professionals from around the world, received a custom report based on research collected during Intelligent Spa's Global Spa Benchmark Program, which is currently underway in more than 60 countries.

Pete Ellis, chair of the GSS Board of Directors said: "This in-depth study by Intelligent Spas provides delegates with a first look at the most relaible, up-to-date benchmarks available on the global spa and wellness industry.

"As day, hotel and medical spa owners and managers navigate through these uncertain economic times, this perspective will help them see the big picture and adjust prices and services to manage their properties successfully."

The statistical report covered revenue, expenses, visitors and employees as well as a range of benchmark ratios.
