Americans are increasingly turning to the spa community to learn about diet and exercise, the benefits of organic plant-based diets, to re-define ideas of beauty and well-being, and to learn techniques of preventive medicine. Our industry has been valued at $12 billion per annum with Americans making about 160 million spa visits a year.
This event brings together founders, owners, directional thinkers, and top executives. Miraval CEO and Vice Chairman Philippe Bourguignon will make a keynote address and the honorary board includes such notables as Professor Mary Tabacchi of the Cornell University, Ted Ning, Director of the LOHAS forum, Lifestyles of Heath and Sustainability, Dr. Martha Honey, director of the Center for Responsible Travel, Susie Ellis, president of SpaFinder and co-founder of the Global Spa Summit, and Sheila Johnson, CEO of Salamander Hospitality. Deborah Szekely, founder of the Golden Door and Rancho La Puerta, is the Washington Spa Alliance’s Honorary chair and will deliver welcoming remarks.
