An independent Global Hot Spring Survey has been launched online at www.hotspringsurvey.org in an effort to obtain information from hot spring bathers around the world to help the industry better understand their needs.

Available in nine languages – including English, Chinese, Japanese, German, Russian, Hungarian, Czech and Slovak – the survey is an independent university-based research on the characteristics, motivations and experiences of hot springs bathers being conducted through RMIT University in Australia.

Industry professionals are being asked to promote the survey via social media, and organisers of the survey, led by Professor Marc Cohen, are offering an opportunity for survey-takers to win a US$200 Amazon gift voucher upon completion of the survey.
