Signs of positive growth for the industry emerged as total revenue, spa visits, revenue per visit, total number of employees and the total number of spa locations all experienced an increase over the previous year.

ISPA President Lynne McNees, said: “This year's annual US study paints a very positive picture for the industry and reflects what we're hearing from our members. It's encouraging to see the total number of spa visits back at its pre-recession peak and even more encouraging to see total spa industry revenue reach a record high $14 billion.”
