The Steiner Spa Consulting Team predicts 2014 to be a good year for spa development, and on its blog has outlined the places it tips spa companies are looking to invest next.

Securing the World Expo for 2020 has given Dubai a boost and made it the Middle East’s hottest ticket.

China’s second tier markets are developing: Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan, Kunming, Dalian, Shenyang and Guiyang have a pipeline of hotels and resorts, as brands already established in Shanghai and Beijing look to venture into other areas.

Eastern Europe, especially Poland and Hungary, are seeing positive growth and hotel chains have set their sites on the oil rich Azerbajian, particularly its capital, Baku.

Uruguay, Peru and Brazil are the most promising areas in South America and Vietnam, Indonesia and Philippines are all seeing a lot of activity. In particular, Vietnam’s coastline is attracting resort and destination brands.
