What to Expect in 2009

In president elect,Barack Obama's, speech yesterday he said that we should all have great hope and high expectation for 2009. That by taking care of ourselves and others we can make 2009 be remembered as the year our country rose up and gave itself new hope. We should not allow ourselves to be crippled by the state of the economy. That said. I found an article that speaks to the future of the spa industry."The global spa industry’s extraordinary growth and resiliency has been fueled by important new ideas in health, wellness, fitness, beauty, design, and cuisine. Despite a turbulent economy, SpaFinder President Susie Ellis believes 2009 will prove no exception, with the industry continuing to innovate, including developments such as the ‘in-transit’ spa experience, new offerings for the exploding Gen X and Y demographic, bolder eco-friendly initiatives, and the ramping up of global spa brands."
