Mordor Intelligence reveals that the global spa market is projected to grow at a rate of 5.7% during the forecast period 2018 to 2023.
Increased focus on health and beauty and rising expenditure on luxury are the major drivers of the market. In India, however, the desire to indulge in ‘spa-cations’ and a sudden awakening towards wellbeing has fuelled the growth of destination spas and wellness centres. With this as a backdrop, in this Spa and Wellness issue, we assess the role of destination spas and wellness centres. Off late, strewn across scenic locales of the country, they are going all out to lure that segment of the population that is conscious of their health and wellbeing.
