Could It Be That The Recession Is Water Off A Ducks Back For Spas?

You might think that during a global recession people would be cutting back on their spa treatments. You might be under the impression that because everyone is watching what they spend very closely, there would be no room for loose spending on sheer luxuries. You might be surprised to learn then that the International Spa Assosication (ISPA) has suggested recently that health spa are recession proof. They then backed this up with figures that showed visits to health spas in 2008 were up a whopping 16% on 2007 statistics. So how and why is this case?

ISPA has said that spas will survive simply because they are adaptable and are able to offer people what they think they want depending on the current climate. What is meant by this is that a spa will offer people indulgent and pampering treatments when everything is going well and they have lots of money. They offer luxury manicures and indulgent body wraps, using the idea of ‘why not? You’ve earned it’.They cannot of course survive on this principle during a downturn however. People would not buy into the idea of treating themselves or spending money of luxuries they do not need. Spas then have to adjust the messages they are giving out.

When people are suffering from stress or financial worries the spas can offer the perfect remedy. They suggest having a full body de-stressing massage, to work away all the pains and strains of life and give you back the energy you need to go about your daily lives. Instead of pampering facials, you can now get a uplifting exfoliating scrub to get rid of all that old bad skin and emerge a brand new butterfly with a fresh outlook on life and a positive attitude towards any problems you may be facing
