AmorePacific wins award for multisensory visitor centre The South Korean skincare company has started offering public tours at its factory
South Korean skincare and beauty com- pany AmorePacific is to be presented with an attractions industry award in March for its visitor centre which has “transformed the concept of a factory tour”. Story Garden by AmorePacific opened in late 2013 at the company’s head- quarters in Osan and was created and produced by design firm BRC Imagination Arts. The 10,000sq ft (929sq m) attrac- tion tells the story of the company through an interactive, multisensory and multime- dia experience. Although Story Garden
was originally intended for a limited audi- ence, AmorePacific has started offering public tours thanks to its popularity. AmorePacific is to receive an award for Outstanding Achievement by attrac- tions industry body the Themed Entertainment Association (THEA). The creator of the THEA Awards says Story Garden “elevates the experience of a brand visitor centre to the highest artis- tic and emotional standard – a stunning new standard for Asia and the world”.

Islamic wellness among Spafinder’s 2015 trends
Medi-spa prescriptions for cannabis and Islamic wellness rituals (beyond ham- mams and argan oil) were among the predictions in the Top 10 Global Spa & Wellness Trends Forecast for 2015 by industry media, marketing and gifting firm Spafinder Wellness 365. The report, in its 12th year, points out that after decades of prohibition, cannabis is partially legalised in the US which will lead to cannabis-branded day spas and cannabis wellness tourism packages. Islamic wellness rituals such as sand bathing and rasul/mud experiences are expected to become more popular, while Middle Eastern, African and Malaysian medicinal plants, spices and ancient grains will be the next ‘superfoods’.
