Karen W. Escalera reports that “The good news for our industry is that a wellness lifestyle is still sought after because it’s not seen as excessive, but a means to achieve personal well-being. It’s not a matter of “want”, but a matter of “need” to destress and be a better, healthier you in difficult times.

Figures provided by SpaFinder to Travel Weekly are staggering – the most searched terms on their site since January are: “massage” up roughly by 1900%; “getaways” up more than 400%; “spa retreats” up 235%; “local spa” up roughly 600%; and “tranquility” up 75%.

With that being said, searches for “luxury spa” and “luxury spa resorts” were down, which indicates that spa-ing is becoming more synonymous with essential stress reduction and relaxation, than a luxury pursuit.”
