World Travel Market's Wellness Lounge 'fully-stocked' with exhibitors

POSTED 27 Aug 2015 . BY Helen Andrews

John Bevan, COO of Spafinder Wellness Inc, said: 'It's gratifying to see the wellness and travel industries working together'

The World Travel Market Wellness Lounge, set to take place between 4-5 November, has sold its entire allotted exhibition space three months in advance of the World Travel Market (WTM) event in London.

Among the 25 exhibitors is the Icelandic geothermal seawater spa Blue Lagoon, holistic spa retreat consortium Healing Hotels of the World, India’s Somatheeram Ayurveda Group and UK-based operator Lifehouse Spa and Hotel.

Following on from the Wellness Programme launched by Spafinder Wellness 365 at WTM 2014, The WTM Wellness Lounge offers suppliers private pods within the lounge, networking meals with buyers and a speed-networking session.

John Bevan, COO of Spafinder Wellness Inc said: “We knew there was a great demand for a Wellness Lounge because our conference programme during WTM 2014 was very well attended. It's gratifying to see the wellness and travel industries working together, to help both markets to do business.”

The second annual Global Wellness Travel Awards will be awarded at WTM 2015 by Spafinder.
