It gives members access to expert advice across a numerous topics including improving reputation, brand awareness and growth as well as public awareness campaigning and benchmarking.
UKSA Chair Charlie Thompson says: “With the strong growth from nil to more than 500 member spas in four years, the UKSA recognises the need to represent the industry more fully in the future, and the insight our experts can provide to support the national wellness drive started by ukactive makes perfect sense. Our members will get better value from this joint member option and our reach will extend beyond 1,000 spas to really push the crucial issues around national wellbeing. We hope spa operators will see this partnership as a huge benefit to the growth and credibility of the spa industry in the UK.”
