Health and wellness tourism experienced a year of positive growth in 2012, with both medical tourism and spas (hotel/resort and destination) making gains. Hotel/resort spas accounted for two-thirds of total spa revenue, with destination spas accounting for only 4%. Other spas – including spas located on cruise ships and traditional mineral spas – accounted for 30% of total spa revenues.
Day spas – the core of the US personal care service industry - are excluded from Euromonitor International’s travel and tourism definitions. PROSPECTS Health and wellness tourism is anticipated a constant value CAGR of 3% over the forecast period, reaching sales of US$13.1 billion in 2017.
