Spa Goes High Tech

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

While the world of spa may be essentially a ‘high touch’ industry there are elements that are extremely ‘high tech’.  As the world of spa is expanding, with more and more of the industry publications going electronic, this is only reasonably expected to increase proportionately in the coming years.

Spa & Wellness Turkey published in Istanbul is but just one of the digital spa publications now available.  Follow the link for the latest issue: www.spawellnessturkey.com/e-dergiler/12/

Training for Spa Therapists

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

The Thai Spa Association (TSPA) as one of the five recipients of a major investment to internationalize the operations of spas in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines by the European Union Asia Invest Programme, has concluded an ambitious project and trained 1,088 spa therapists over two years (Jan 2008 through Dec 2009)

The project valued at over EU1,000,000 was jointly funded from the European Union and the participants.  The project, the first of its kind for the participants and co-ordinated by the Philippines Spa & Wellness Association (PhilWell - formerly the Spa Association of the Philippines), was a collaboration between the European Union Asia Invest Programme, PhilWell, Thai Spa Association (TSPA), Association of Malaysian Spas (AMSPA), Bali Spa and Wellness Association (BSWA), and the Confederation of International Beauty Therapy & Cosmetology (CIBTAC).
