Research
One of the objectives of the Global Spa Summit is to initiate, gather, and trumpet quality industry research on a global basis. The Global Spa Summit team has endeavored to develop a comprehensive list of spa related research from around the world. The list below has been organized by geographical location. Along with the title of each report is the year in which the research was published, the company that commissioned the report, and a link to the website where the study can be accessed or purchased. As with all research, please become familiar with each report’s sample size and response rates as well as carefully noting how various researchers define terms such as spa and wellness.
If there is a research report or document that you feel should be included on this list, or if this list needs to be corrected in any way, please send an email to
