DESTINATION SPA GROUP FACT SHEET

HISTORY:
Destination spas are part of a spa industry that has grown tremendously in the past two decades. Spas come in all shapes and sizes, from day spas to amenity spas at hotels and resorts to the complete wellness experience of a Destination Spa. As a result of the proliferation of spa options, potential Destination Spa guests and travel professionals are often confused or have misconceptions about what spas offer. That is why in the fall of 1997, a group of spa owners united to establish the Destination Spa Group (DSG).

Today, the Destination Spa Group is an organization of 25 Destination Spa owners who are dedicated to educating the public about the lasting benefits of a true Destination Spa vacation and defining the Destination Spa experience. Spas must meet specific criteria for membership and be committed to providing a health renewing experience.

MISSION STATEMENT:
The mission of the Destination Spa Group is to encourage healthier lifestyles by educating the public about the unique wellness and self-improvement opportunities of Destination Spas and to help each guest make an informed choice leading to an optimal spa vacation experience.

DSG RESOURCES:
The Destination Spa Group has combined resources to offer three useful tools to help spa-goers answer that frequently asked question, "Which destination spa is right for me?"

Destination Spa Referral Service (toll free 888-772-4363) is a free information and referral service. Representatives can personally answer a variety of questions regarding the top destination spas in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The Destination Spa Referral Service is available Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST.

WWW.DESTINATIONSPAS.COM provides visitors with pictures, rates, general information, and telephone numbers for all 25-member spas. Each week two spas are featured and every month special offers are posted from various spas. Visitors can order the Destination Spa Vacations magazine, read spa-related articles, search for specific information about the spas, and ask questions or request more information via e-mail.

Destination Spa Vacations® is a glossy, four-color annual travel guide to 25 Destination Spas. With more than 70 pages, the beautiful publication offers a comprehensive two-page description of each of the featured spas, including large color photographs, a summary of the facility, amenities and accommodations, an explanation of services and activities, plus addresses, phone numbers, nearest airports and rates. As a bonus, readers can enjoy a variety of health and spa-related articles. The 2001 edition of Destination Spa Vacations is available at bookstores and newsstands across the country and can also be ordered from the Destination Spa Referral Service or www.destinationspas.com. The magazine is available at no charge to travel professionals.
