Opening a Path to Total Wellness

We've all endured frustrating days at work, or suffered from a poor night's sleep. Our lives are busy and stressful. Our muscles are tense and sore. What can we do to relieve the tension and escape the pressure? Relax and unwind at a rejuvenating Thai Spa. Thai spas offer something new and unique. They focus on total wellness, a healing of the mind and the body by using holistic treatments such as massage, aromatherapy and all natural herbs. There are also steam baths, Jacuzzis, and remedies that revitalize the skin and cleanse the body's toxins. In addition to "destressing" and pampering, Thai spas also offer post-natal, weight-loss, sports injury rehabilitation and wedding preparation packages. Today's health conscious people recognize the potential health benefits to be gained by regular visits to a spa. Thai Traditional Massage, a deeptissue yoga-like therapy, is one of the fastest growing types of therapy requested by spa customers. According to 'Massage Today', this type of massage is the newest "in" thing. If the massage spa or resort spa in your area does not offer Thai massage then there may be a huge, unfulfilled demand in your marketplace. To any businessperson, that spells great opportunity.

The International Spa Association identifies Thai massage as one of the "key trends" in the spa industry. In some parts of the world, practitioners can even charge more for it because of its status as a "hot specialty". Global competition in the spa industry is heating up, but Thailand has plans to maintain its advantage. It offers specialized training, seminars and "how-to" manuals for those interested in opening their own business. There are schools dedicated to teaching the ancient practices. And there are detailed business plans covering everything from spa products and facilities to marketing and management. For consultation or for information regarding seminars and training, contact the Thai Trade Center-Miami at ttcmiami@earthlink.net. Whether you are planning to open a new business or hoping to integrate the Thai spa concept into your existing business, you should not overlook the popularity of the Thai Spa Experience. The Thai massage and spa industry is not just thriving, it is booming.
