Julie Garrow of Intelligent Spas says, “The Greek spa industry is expected to generate EUR 15 million in revenue in 2011. The Greek spa market experienced overall growth in revenue between 2008 and 2010, however visitor numbers proved unstable and are predicted to fall in 2011. The key per spa benchmarks have also experienced decreases including revenue, visits and employment and are predicted to fall further, suggesting challenging times ahead for Greek spa operators.”

This research will be extremely useful to owners to help them adopt efficient business strategies, implement new spa trends, identify new business opportunities, maximise overall performance and recognise the need for change.”
