banquetes, tours y caminatas en Aspen y sus alrededores – un destino reconocido mundialmente por su belleza natural y su sofisticación cultural.


Iniciativa de Investigación: Las encuestas anuales a los delegados de la Cumbre muestran


que la falta de gerentes/


directores bien capacitados sigue siendo un gran obstáculo para el crecimiento de la industria. Así que, para el 2012, la Cumbre encargó a la firma de investigación SRI International el estudio “Educación para Administrar los spa. Las deficiencias del Mercado”. SRI International ha realizado otros estudios para la Cumbre: “Informe sobre la Economía Global de los Spa “ (2008) y “Los Spa y el Mercado Global del Bienestar” (2010).


Experiencias el Pre y Post Cumbre: Los


delegados también tendrán la oportunidad de visitar


famoso spa, Miraval, en


Tucson, Arizona. Antes o después de la Cumbre,


este retiro para el bienestar


de 3 noches brindará a los delegados la oportunidad de conocer lo que ofrece el galardonado menú exclusivo del resort (desde el Miraval Equine Experience™, hasta clases de yoga y meditación, o actividades al


aire libre y “desafíos”) –


mientras amplían sus redes sociales y su educación.


Los delegados que prefieran quedarse en Colorado pueden optar por el “Aspen Experience Day” (Domingo 3 de junio), que incluye un paseo por esta pintoresca región, y un recorrido histórico del centro de Aspen. Después de la Cumbre,


los


delegados también pueden ir a Glenwood Hot Springs, para conocer la única “cueva de vapor” del país y nadar en las aguas termales, seguido de un almuerzo en el histórico Hotel Colorado y tratamientos en el Spa of the Rockies.

6th Annual Global Spa & Wellness Summit: Innovation & Imagination


The Global Spa and Wellness Summit (GSWS) announced the details of


its


annual conference to be held in Aspen, Colorado from June 3-6, 2012. This year’s Summit, which will take place on the Aspen Institute campus, promises to be a unique event: a packed three days


of presentations and panels


that will squarely focus on the most imaginative and innovative strategies that can propel the $2 trillion global spa and wellness industries forward. Seven top-tier keynote speakers – and a crucial research initiative on current spa management education realities and future needs - have already been confirmed.


The organization, formerly the “Global Spa Summit,” also announces that it has added the word/concept “wellness” to its name, to better reflect the expanded focus of the modern spa industry. The invitation-only Summit enters its sixth year


in 2012, after successful prior


gatherings in New York City; Interlaken, Switzerland; Istanbul, Turkey; and Bali, Indonesia. Keynotes headline

The great companies


this year’s are


founded on innovation, not from market surveys. Innovation doesn’t stem from experience, but from a vision of what we wish to experience tomorrow. The agenda will purposely exit the industry ‘highways’ to explore new side roads, discoveries and ideas. It will
